Frailty Score as a Predictor of Outcomes in Geriatric Patients with Isolated Hip Fractures.

Background: Isolated hip fractures (IHFs) are a cause of morbidity and mortality in the geriatric population aged >65 years. Frailty has been identified as a determinant for patient outcomes in other surgical specialties. The purpose of this study is to determine if frailty severity is a predictor of outcomes in IHF in the geriatric population.
