  • The study results reinforce the importance of early hip fracture prevention strategies focusing on adults aged 65 and especially amongst those with a recent hip fracture to help reduce the high likelihood of experiencing a future hip fracture and their high social and human costs.
  • Key results of the study included the following:
    A hip fracture occurred on average within 1.5 years after any type of prior fracture.
  • Hip fractures were the most common second fracture (27.8%), occurring in 19% of cases after each index fracture site and most frequently (33.0%) after an index hip fracture.

Study shows risk of prolonged opioid use in older, opioid-naïve patient populations following hip fracture surgery

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study presented at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) found there is a notable risk of prolonged opioid use in older patient populations following musculoskeletal injury. While numerous studies have analyzed opioid dependence in younger patient cohorts, relatively few studies examine the risk factors and prevalence associated with long-term opioid usage in patients aged 60 and older, who, despite their age, remain at risk for opioid dependence.

Key Points: 
  • While numerous studies have analyzed opioid dependence in younger patient cohorts, relatively few studies examine the risk factors and prevalence associated with long-term opioid usage in patients aged 60 and older, who, despite their age, remain at risk for opioid dependence.
  • The retrospective cohort study, "Prolonged Opioid Usage Following Hip Fracture Surgery in Opioid-Nave Older Patients," followed 29,618 opioid-nave patients (not filling an opioid prescription three months prior to the hip fracture), age 60 and older, who underwent surgical treatment of a hip fracture between 2009 and 2018.
  • "Given that hip fractures are a severe injury in an already frail patient population, it would be problematic if some patients were also developing opioid dependence following their injury.
  • Of note, the team found that that one in six elderly hip fracture patients were still taking opioid pain medications at three to six months following hip fracture surgery.
