Mortality and disability rates after ORIF for intertrochanteric fractures in older adults warrant risk stratification; leaves open prospective identification of modifiable factors.
Nasab et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Intertrochanteric fracture of femur (n=385). Open reduction and internal fixation by dynamic hip screw was evaluated on Mortality. Surgical treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in patients aged ≥60 years was associated with a 36.9% mortality rate, which was highest (63.01%) in those aged 80-89 years.
