Twelve-month mortality and functional outcomes in hip fracture patients under 65 years of age

There has been a recent call for improved functional outcome reporting in younger hip fracture patients. Younger hip fracture patients represent a different population with different functional goals to their older counterparts. Therefore, previous research on mortality and functional outcomes in hip fracture patients may not be generalisable to the younger population. The aims of this study were to report 12-month survival and functional outcomes in hip fracture patients aged <65 years and predictors of functional outcome.
