Key result
One-year mortality was similar between elderly patients treated with proximal femoral nail (30.2%) and partial hip replacement (34.3%) for hip fractures.
Why the study?
The study aimed to compare mortality-related risk factors and outcomes between patients undergoing proximal femoral nail versus partial hip prosthesis for hip fracture.
Does proximal femoral nail compared to partial hip replacement improve one-year survival in elderly patients with hip fractures?

İPEK et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Hip fracture (n=618). Proximal femoral nail (PFN) vs. Partial hip replacement was evaluated on One-year mortality (p=0.285). One-year mortality was similar between elderly patients treated with proximal femoral nail (30.2%) and partial hip replacement (34.3%) for hip fractures.
