Abstract
The long-term study showed that revision surgery was only required in 3/200 patients (1.5%) beyond the second year of that surgery. On the other hand, more than half of all patients had already passed away five years after the initial surgery. The exact incidence of a contralateral femoral fracture was 11.9%, climbing to 15.4% if the patient survived at least one year. Nearly every fifth patient experienced another fall resulting in a severe fracture requiring treatment during the long-term course.
