Clinical question: Neck of femur fracture — orthopaedic review for theatre planning
Acuity: Urgent — admitted today, pain uncontrolled

Key findings:
- Right intracapsular neck of femur (NOF) fracture on X-ray
- HR 92, BP 128/74, pain score 8/10
- Anticoagulation: apixaban — last dose 18 hours ago

Checklist for registrar:
- nil by mouth (NBM) status: not yet documented
- venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis plan pending
- Anaesthetic fitness: medical review requested
- Imaging: anteroposterior (AP) pelvis + lateral hip — fracture confirmed

What we need: Theatre planning, anticoagulation management, analgesia optimisation
Clinical scenario

Presentation

An 81-year-old female is admitted after a fall at home with right hip pain and inability to weight-bear. X-ray confirms a right intracapsular neck of femur fracture. HR 92, BP 128/74, pain score 8/10. She takes apixaban — last dose 18 hours ago. Medical comorbidities include hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3.

The challenge

Theatre planning needs structured documentation, anticoagulation management must be reasoned through, anaesthetic fitness needs consideration, and the orthopaedic registrar needs NBM status, imaging, analgesia, and medical optimisation details before a decision can be made — often with multiple fracture admissions waiting.

How Ruqelo supports

  • Savori: fracture classification reasoning, operative planning considerations, anticoagulation peri-operative reasoning, VTE prophylaxis awareness
  • Klaero: orthopaedic assessment note, fracture documentation, operative planning record
  • Lysen: hands-free case discussion between trauma assessments
  • Refaro: structured orthopaedic referral brief with imaging, anticoagulation, NBM, and medical optimisation status
  • Practice Call: simulated orthopaedic registrar takes the referral — asks about imaging, anticoagulation, anaesthetic fitness, and pain control

What the clinician can do next

With fracture assessment documented, operative reasoning structured, and the theatre referral brief prepared — the clinician can focus on the patient and the actual call to the orthopaedic team.
