Supports specialist rehab transfer after femoral neck fracture surgery; leaves open causal benefit pending randomized confirmation.
What are the long-term mortality and morbidity outcomes following surgery for femoral neck fractures?
Following surgery for femoral neck fractures, mortality is highest in the first 9 months, and postoperative transfer to a specialist rehabilitation ward is associated with improved survival and mobility.
Clayer et al. (1989) studied this question.
