Brief Summary

The primary objective is to examine the effect of multidisciplinary geriatric team home-visits as follow-up after a hip fracture in old patients. The hypothesis is that home-visits will reduce the number of falls, readmissions, prevent functional decline, optimize that medical treatment, and a higher degree of satisfaction and quality of life.
