Core Tip
Core Tip: Elderly hip fracture patients with comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder face unique recovery challenges. This retrospective study highlights the benefits of structured perioperative psychological intervention, demonstrating significant improvements in pain management, functional recovery, and post-traumatic stress disorder symptom reduction. Patients receiving psychological support reported lower pain scores, fewer depressive symptoms, enhanced activities of daily living, and shorter hospital stays. These findings suggest that integrating psychological care into perioperative management may optimize outcomes and overall patient well-being in this vulnerable population.
