The conventional treatment for intertrochanteric hip fracture is open reduction and internal fixation. However, hip arthroplasty is occasionally performed. The objective of this study was to determine the 30-day mortality for patients with intertrochanteric hip fracture treated with open reduction, internal fixation, or hip arthroplasty. The mortality rate for patients treated with arthroplasty at 4.8% (23/478) was slightly, but not significantly, higher than that for patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation at 4.5% (62/1395). However, more of the patients in the arthroplasty group exhibited serious intraoperative cardiorespiratory disturbances (62% vs 22%) and died in the hospital (77% vs 35%) when compared with the patients in the open reduction and internal fixation group. Although the incidence of 30-day mortality in these groups was not significantly different, the patients in the arthroplasty group were more likely to have a complicated intraoperative course and die in the hospital.
