老人病院長期入院患者の大腿骨頚部骨折について

抄録

We treated 134 cases of femoral neck fracture between 1983-1985 in our department. The age range was 60-97 years, (mean age, 77.8 years). Generally, early surgical treatment is recommended for femoral neck fracture. We compared the postoperative results and complications of such fractures in the elderly during long-term hospitalization with those of other types of patients.
Most of the patients had many complications, especially senile dementia, and the resultant gait ability was not favorable when compared with other types of patients.
