[One-year follow-up experience in the rehabilitation of patients with femoral neck fractures]

Abstract

Authors have followed 754 patients with hip fracture and have found that about 60 per cent of them are alive after one year; their functional state further improved between 4 months and 1 year, it cannot be however considered as satisfactory even after one year. Analysing the operations performed in femoral neck and trochanteric fractures it should be stated that the operative indications are generally adequate and the conditions of further improvement are defined. More significant improvement of the lasting results can be expected from a well organized rehabilitation.
