Conservative Treatment for Fracture of the Proximal Femur with Complications.

CONCLUSION: This study showed that in patients with hip fractures, severe complications, and poor general conditions, early prognosis after conservative treatment aiming for early transfer to wheelchair is no worse than that following surgical treatment. Thus, conservative treatment should be considered for patients with poor ability for activities of daily living. PMID: 26960582 [PubMed - in process]
