Influência das fraturas do fêmur proximal na autonomia e mortalidade dos pacientes idosos submetidos a osteossíntese com haste cefalomedular

The patient's previous autonomy positively influenced the functional outcome and postoperative recovery. Unstable fractures presented worse results for pain and ambulation in a follow‐up of 27 months. Hip fracture is a risk factor associated with mortality and decreased independence in patients over 65 years of age.
