Pain Management in Geriatric Hip Fracture

The Null Hypothesis is that there is no association between Pain regime and the functional performance among geriatric patients having traumatic hip fracture. Two limbs are being assessed:1. Three weeks of regular oral Panadol and Tramadol after hip fracture 2. Oral Panadol and tramadol taking in p.r.n. basis. Functional outcome including Numerical Rate Scale for pain assessment, Functional Independency Measure and Elderly Mobility Score are chosen.
