The Sernbo score predicts 1-year mortality after displaced femoral neck fractures treated with a hip arthroplasty

摘要

Background and purposeDisplaced femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are associated with high rates of mortality during the first postoperative year. The Sernbo score (based on age, habitat, mobility, and mental state) can be used to stratify patients into groups with different 1-year mortality. We assessed this predictive ability in patients with a displaced FNF treated with a hemiarthroplasty or a total hip arthroplasty.
