LAS VEGAS — In this video from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting, Philipp Leucht, MD, FAAOS, discussed the efficacy of a perioperative, multimodal hip injection for patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture.
“This simple, perioperative, multimodal injection into the soft tissue around the hip after hip fracture surgery improved not only early outcomes, but also long-term outcomes at 6 weeks in this difficult patient population,” Leucht said.
