Proximal femur fractures have a negative impact on loss of functional autonomy and mortality. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate functional autonomy and mortality in a group of older adults with hip fractures managed in an orthogeriatric setting 12 months after discharge and to determine if gender affected outcome. In all participa...
