Hip fracture is a osteoporosis-related fracture with higher mortality, and is a major public health issue in China. The British Orthopedic Association and the British Geriatric Society have published the UK Blue Book, which summarizes current evidence and best practice in the hip fracture care and secondary prevention, but this kind of standardized practice in hip fracture care is not yet existed in China. The Blue Book standards will be used as the most contemporary evidence-based guidelines for management of hip fracture.This study is to prospectively examine the barriers and facilitators in the current management of hospital in China by comparing the Blue Book standards.
