Cover Story: The average life expectancy of the Italian population has increased over the last few decades, with a consequent increase in the demand for healthcare. Hip fractures continue to be associated with a high rate of disability and, unfortunately, also of mortality. Rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery is essential for autonomy, recovery, and reintegration into the social context. The aim of this web-based survey was to determine the level of knowledge and adherence to the recent treatment recommendations of Italian physiotherapists. The results of this survey show a partial integration of the recommendations for rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery by Italian physiotherapists. Adherence seems to be better in the inpatient setting and with physiotherapists with higher levels of education. The road is still long but we are probably on the right one. View this paper
