My research project looked at morbidity and mortality of patients admitted with a hip fracture at the QEH. We found that the average time to surgery was approximately 21 days. The recommended time is 48 hours. I developed a hip fracture protocol which is being used by the departments of orthopedics, accidents, and emergency and anesthesia, which significantly reduces time to surgery and as a result associated morbidity.
