Preliminary results of an early vs delayed timing of surgery in the management of proximal femur fragility fractures.

CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences were found on the evaluated parameters in the two groups in the present preliminary study. A correlation between male sex and mortality, and male sex and postoperative complications was assessed. An enlargement of the study population is needed to surely clarify any effective differences, given the fact that recent studies seem to identify in the early treatment the better strategy to ensure the best recovery and the lower rate of mortality and complications.
