Abstract
The current results revealed the incidence of cognitive decline after the onset of OVF. Delayed union and reduced ADL at 6-month follow-up were associated with cognitive decline. Patients with cognitive decline experienced significantly reduced quality of life. These results highlight the importance of preventing cognitive impairment in patients with symptomatic OVF. Physical treatment or early surgical treatment may provide appropriate options, particularly for patients with suspected delayed union.
