Abstract

We studied physical and blood findings at admission as the prognosis prediction after proximal femoral fracture operation. We compared physical and blood findings at admission between a group regaining walking ability and a group failing to regain walking ability. The cases were females above sixty-five years of age who were able to walk before injury. Ninety-seven cases were investigated between October 2001 and March 2003. There was a statistical difference between the two groups in serum albumin, corpuscular hemoglobin and ages. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in serum protein, C-reactive protein, creatinine clearance, Body Mass Index, O² saturation of artery, and weight. Serum albumin and corpuscular hemoglobin are nutrition assessment indexes. Poor nutritional status is considered a risk factor for proximal femoral fracture.
