Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
200X2 patients are recruited during two periods within the study period where regular oral analgesics is given for the first 200 patients while the rest of patient will receive oral analgesics upon demand
