The 1-year mortality of surgically-managed geriatric hip fracture patients older than 85 years of age is not determined by age alone. Patients aged 85 years and above are at higher risk for pneumonia postoperatively. Ultra-old hip fracture patients with an intertrochanteric fracture are more likely to have poorer function at 1 year after hip fracture surgery.
