This article delves into the profound impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols on the management of hip fractures within the Indian healthcare landscape. Hip fractures, particularly prevalent among the elderly, represent a significant clinical challenge, often leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality. The integration of the geriatric fracture center (GFC) model with ERAS protocols offers a sophisticated, multidisciplinary approach that prioritizes early surgical intervention, comprehensive geriatric care, and standardized, evidence-based practices. This synergy has the potential to significantly enhance patient outcomes by reducing hospital stays, minimizing complications, and expediting recovery.
