Galler M, et al. - Among two-hundred patients with proximal femoral fracture, researchers evaluated revision, if any, and mortality within 10 years follow-up. They also assessed these patients for the walking ability. Findings revealed revision surgery in only 3/200 patients (1.5%) beyond the second year of that surgery. However, five years after the initial surgery, more than half of all patients had already passed away. In this study, the exact incidence of a contralateral femoral fracture was 11.9%, climbing to 15.4% if the patient survived at least one year. Almost every fifth patient encountered another fall resulting in a severe fracture necessitating treatment during the long-term course.
