Don't take the fall seriously!

What is "the last fracture of life"?

The "last fracture in life" refers to a hip fracture in the elderly. The hip, the joint that connects the thigh to the buttock, serves as the “load-bearing wall” of the upper body. Once a fracture occurs in this area, it becomes impossible to stand or walk; even sitting up or turning over in bed can be extremely difficult.

The reason why hip fracture is called "the last fracture" is that the elderly may die for various reasons after fracture. According to statistics, the mortality rate of the elderly after hip fracture is as high as 50%! That's more than a lot of cancer!

Hip fractures rarely lead directly to death, and their danger is reflected in the treatment of the latter. Many people have a natural resistance to the surgical treatment of blood, especially the older elderly, who worry that the body can not bear the operation and choose conservative treatment. But in fact, the risk of death is much higher than surgery without conservative treatment.

No matter how small the operation is, it is impossible to have absolutely no risk. What's more, the hip fracture operation is still a general anesthesia operation. It is true that some elderly people can't afford the operation because of their physical condition and can only carry out conservative treatment. Therefore, the best way to deal with the last fracture in life is to let it not happen.

Pay attention to calcium and vitamin D

Daily calcium and vitamin D supplements can help prevent osteoporosis.

Pay attention to wear when you go out in winter.

Wearing long Johns in cold weather is a respect for cooling down, but wearing too much is easy to walk and cause wrestling. In addition, anti-skid shoes should be worn on rainy and snowy days to avoid slipping and falling down.

Bathroom to do anti-skid measures

The bathroom floor that has just taken a bath is slippery and easy to fall, so it is excellent to make anti-skid on the bathroom floor, install anti-skid hand guards on the wall, and prepare anti-skid slippers for the elderly.

Wake up after two minutes to get out of bed

When people first wake up, their brains are often not awake. At this time, they have to wait before getting out of bed to avoid falling down.

Do not go out for an hour after taking the medicine

Many elderly people need long-term medication, but some drugs will affect the balance of people, so it is recommended that the elderly go out after these drugs.

The old man who is inconvenient to walk is accompanied by someone.

For the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet, try not to let him travel alone, especially the elderly with three highs, who may faint while walking on the road.
