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
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.
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.
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.
Capture mechanism, examination findings, and imaging results by voice or text.
Fracture classification, operative considerations, and anticoagulation reasoning.
Structured assessment notes ready for independent verification.
Complete brief with imaging, anticoagulation, NBM, and medical optimisation status.
Rehearse with a simulated orthopaedic registrar before the real call.
