Hip fracture in older adults is often termed the last fracture in life, imposing a significant healthcare burden on patients and society due to its high disability and mortality rate. Risk assessment tools play a crucial role in managing hip fractures among the elderly, encompassing fracture occurrence, complication prevention, functional rehabilitation, and prevention of secondary fractures. Selecting appropriate risk assessment tools is paramount for enhancing the quality of care for elderly hip fracture patients. This article reviews risk assessment tools for nursing care of elderly hip fracture patients, focusing on aspects such as physiological function, mobility, and the risk of complication development. The aim is to provide strong support for clinical nursing practice and promote the advancement of hip fracture care for the elderly towards a more refined and scientific direction.
