Abstract

The survival rate and physical activities of 867 cases of femoral neck fracture discharged after hospitalization during the past 12 years were investigated. The average age was 78.82 years and the average period of observation was 4.12 years. The death rate was 51.9% in men and 42.1% in women, during 12 years. The survival rate decreased significantly during the first year of discharge. The survival rate of discharged patients with bone fractures was 65% after 5 years, and was lower than that of elderly living in a geriatric home. The physical activities of discharged patients with femoral neck fractures were significantly restricted compared to that of the general population aged 80 and over in Tokyo. Only a small number of patients changed their residence after being discharged from hospital.
