Diabetic neuropathies influence recovery from hip-fracture surgery in older persons with diabetes.
CONCLUSION: DPN adversely affected ADL performance, IADL performance, and physical function-related health outcomes for older persons recovering from hip-fracture surgery. These results suggest that older patients with DM recovering from hip-fracture surgery should be assessed and managed for DPN.
