Hip fractures in the elderly such as femoral neck fractures and intertrochanteric fractures are called the last fractures in life, because after the occurrence of hip fractures, if non-surgical treatment requires long-term bed rest, and long-term bed rest is prone to complications such as pressure ulcers, lung infections, urinary tract infections and thrombosis of lower limb nerves, and even pulmonary embolism. These complications will directly threaten the life of the patient, hip fracture surgery treatment will greatly shorten the patient's bed rest time, reduce the above bed complications, while trying to restore the patient's joint function, patients can be early to carry out the ground activities, clinical studies have shown that hip fracture if not treated surgically within a year of mortality can reach about 50%, so hip fracture is also known as the last fracture in life. Especially for patients with underlying diseases, it is necessary to operate quickly, reduce anesthesia time, reduce intraoperative bleeding, and reduce complications.

Today's patients have renal insufficiency, diabetes, hypertension and other underlying diseases, which take 30 minutes to complete, hoping that patients have a good prognosis.
