Mortality in 159 patients who sustained 163 hip fractures in a single geriatric hospital and residential health facility in a ten-year period was studied. This study confirms the major problem of mortality associated with hip fractures in the very elderly. Factors that seemed associated with mortality were preoperative and postoperative ambulatory status and the overall medical condition of the patients, as evidenced by the higher percentage of patients in the hospital who died after sustaining hip fractures. The age of these elderly patients did not seem to affect the type of fracture or the final outcome significantly.
