Hip fracture is the most common serious injury in older adults, affecting more than 80,000 people in the U.K. every year. The loss of mobility, function, and independence after a hip fracture means that many people need additional support. This varies between individuals but typically involves a combination of formal paid care, informal care from family and friends, and changes to the home environment.
