Inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF- α in patients with hip fracture

ConclusionWe demonstrated an association between IL-6 levels and hip fracture in our study group following the surgery. We also suggest that TNF- α and IL-6 levels are not related to the occurrence of death and walking capability after the surgery. However, these findings need further functional and clinical confirmation.
