Overview
Proximal femur (PF) fracture is one of the most common trauma diagnoses in geriatric patients. The typical patient is a woman 80 years of age after having suffered a low-energy injury, typically a fall after tripping. The most common type of PF fracture in these patients is a pertrochanteric fracture. The patient’s prognosis depends mainly on the medical condition before the accident and age. The aim is to return the patient to the level of mobility before the accident as soon as possible with the least possible reduction in quality of life. The incidence, treatment costs and demands for aftercare capacity will increase.
