Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how hip fractures affect the ability of elderly Polish patients to perform daily activities, focusing on changes in their functional capacity after surgery and the factors that predict recovery.
- - Results indicate that about 33% of patients couldn't return to their pre-fracture activities of daily living (ADL) six months post-surgery, with cognitive impairment playing a significant role in lower recovery rates.
- - The findings highlight that improvements in functional performance following hip fracture surgery depend more on individual patient characteristics, such as cognitive ability and pre-fracture independence, rather than treatment methods.
Material and methods. Between 1996 and 2002, a total of 21 patients were treated with intamedullary nailing for metastatic tumors (12 men and 9 women) without view of pathological fractures. Average patients age at operation was 68,9 (range 21-80).
