The majority of patients were female (M:F 2:11) and had suffered intertrochanteric fractures. The recorded incidence of surgical complications was low. The mortality at 30 days, 6 months and 1 year were 31%, 50% and 56%, respectively representing a 20% increase in mortality at 1 year when compared to the expected mortality rates among their non-injured peers.
