Summary

Proximal femoral fractures are a typical pathology in elderly patients after a low-energy trauma.

This study analyses preexisting risk factors for proximal femoral fractures as well as for failing to reach the previous functional level, difference in outcome between patients with femoral neck fracture compared to those with pertrochanteric fracture, surgical performance and its significance for the functional outcome, as well as the impact of proximal femoral fractures on patients' one-year independence.
