Mortality risk factor in centenarians with proximal femoral fractures.

Background: Given the increased life expectancy, an increasing number of proximal femur fractures (PFFs) will occur in centenarian patients. In these patients, PFF has a serious impact on quality of life with high morbidity and mortality and an increase in total cost of care. Therefore, it is important to understand the surgical outcome for this group of patients defining preoperative risk factors.
