In our study, we observed that operative treatment of FFP provides low mortality rates, although LoS and in-hospital complications were higher in the operative group. At discharge, the non-operative group was more mobile and independent. At follow up, quality of life and mobility were comparable between the groups. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify the impact of operative treatment of FFP on mortality and functional outcome.
