Does hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture in nonagenarians result in worse mortality and functional outcomes compared to patients aged 70-89?
Nonagenarians undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture face higher mortality and worse functional decline than younger patients, highlighting the need for careful perioperative management.
Sanz-Reig et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Femoral neck fracture (n=66). Age ≥90 years (nonagenarians) vs. Age 70 to 89 years was evaluated on Mortality at one year. Nonagenarians undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture had a one-year mortality rate of 24.2% and worse functional outcomes compared to patients aged 70 to 89.
