Objective Exploring the value of supplementing health education in the care of elderly patients with osteoporotic hip fractures. Methods Eighty elderly patients with osteoporotic hip fractures who received medical treatment from May 2023 to May 2024 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group using a double-blind method. There were 40 patients in each group. The control group received routine care, while the observation group received additional health education. Compliance with medical practices, nursing quality, and complications were compared. Results The compliance behavior score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, P<0.05; the hip joint function, adverse psychology, and pain degree score of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, P<0.05; the complication rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, P<0.05. Conclusion Assisted by health education intervention, it can help patients maintain a positive treatment attitude, effectively improve compliance behavior, promote hip joint function recovery, and also reduce the occurrence of complications and alleviate postoperative pain. It should be promoted.
