Outcome of surgery in neck of femur fracture patients with poor pre-fracture mobility.

CONCLUSION: Our study highlighted increased 30-day and 1-year morbidity and mortality rates following hip fracture surgery with notable high rates of respiratory and renal complications in patients with reduced pre-fracture mobility. We would recommend pre- and postoperative optimisation with orthogeriatric review, chest physiotherapy and intravenous fluid hydration to reduce complication rates and improve morbidity and mortality.
