Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between mortality within 30 days after surgery and fracture incidence, implant type and surgical timing in patients older than 65 years who developed hip fractures after a simple fall and were treated surgically. Material and Methods: Patients admitted to the emergency department of the xxx Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology between 01 January 2010 and 31 July 2020 were included. Among these patients, the relationships between sex, age, duration of surgery, type of surgery and postoperative mortality rate were retrospectively evaluated in patients older than 65 years who were diagnosed with isolated hip fracture and who underwent prosthesis or proximal femoral nail/plate screw surgery between the specified dates. In this study, 450 patients treated within the specified time intervals were evaluated, and 308 patients fulfilled the criteria of our study.
