Objective To explore the effectiveness of clinical pathway-oriented cluster care for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures in primary medical institutions. Methods 60 elderly patients with femoral neck fracture treated in our hospital from March 2024 to August 2024 were randomized, and the patients were divided into the observation group (30 cases) and the control group (30 patients) using the random number chart. Patients in the control group received standard care, whereas patients in the observation group received clinical pathway-based cluster care. Comparative analysis of the nursing effect of the two patient groups. Results The comparison results showed that the patients in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group. Patients in the observation group had less time to recover from surgery than the control group, lower postoperative pain score, and lower complication rate than the control group. In addition, the recovery of life activity ability and quality of life score of the patients in the observation group were significantly higher than that of the control group, and the nursing satisfaction obtained was significantly higher than that of the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion The application of clinical pathway-based cluster nursing in the nursing management of elderly patients with femoral neck fracture can effectively improve the quality of nursing services, accelerate postoperative rehabilitation, reduce the risk of complications, and significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
