Core Tip
Core Tip: Hip fractures are common in the elderly, and in patients with hip fracture and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), multisystem clinical outcomes can be challenging for clinicians. Comprehensive identification of the COVID-19-caused impact is clinically useful in early preparation and the following intervention. Additionally, the detailed treatment options for hip fracture patients who are COVID-19 positive can provide clinicians with a credible guide for effective management.
