Objectives: To assess the functional capacity evolution and the physiologic score in patients with proximal femoral end fractures, as well as to compare the final results of the treatment provided to the several pre-fracture variables. Materials and Methods: A prospective study with patients over 40 years old diagnosed with proximal femoral fracture. The patients were submitted to a pre-established protocol and followed up on an outpatient basis for a period of one year. Results: 68 patients were assessed (27 men and 41 women), with a mean age of 75,84 years. 83,82% were submitted to surgical treatment. The early mean physiologic score was 17,16 points All authors state no potential conflict of interest concerning this article
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
