Introduction: Proximal femoral fractures are critically associated with increased risk of mortality and secondary fractures. Identifying prognosis predictors related to sagittal imbalance that are known to have negative impact on fracture risk and mortality is crucial. This study aimed to explore the relationship between various sagittal imbalance parameters and the prognosis of proximal femoral fractures to identify the most important prognostic indicators.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study on female patients with proximal femoral fractures who underwent surgical treatment between April 2020 and March 2021. Postoperative follow-ups were performed at 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month intervals to determine the secondary fracture and mortality rates, and the risk factors and its influence were examined.
