Overview

Brief Summary

Proximal femoral fractures are a typical pathology in elderly patients after a low-energy trauma.

This study analyses preexisting risk factors for proximal femoral fractures as well as for failing to reach the previous functional level, difference in outcome between patients with femoral neck fracture compared to those with pertrochanteric fracture, surgical performance and its significance for the functional outcome, as well as the impact of proximal femoral fractures on patients' one-year independence.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Patient clinical outcome

Time Frame: during hospitalization (from date of surgery until discharge date after surgery (approx. 1-3 weeks)

Quantification of length of hospital stay

Secondary Outcomes

Change in subsidence (radiological outcome: assessment of surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures)(1year postoperative (if n.a. min 6 months postoperative))
Change in patient clinical outcome (according Penrod score)(preoperatively and at 1 year follow up date after surgery)
Change in radiological outcome: assessment of surgical treatment of pertrochanteric fractures(day of surgical intervention (immediately after surgery) and 1year postoperative (if n.a. min 6 months postoperative))
radiological outcome: assessment of surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures(1year postoperative (if n.a. min 6 months postoperative))
Change in radiological outcome: assessment of surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures(day of surgical intervention (immediately after surgery) and 1year postoperative (if n.a. min 6 months postoperative))
