This study revealed that patients with an intertrochanteric femoral fracture had poor QoL in all aspects. The overall QoL was significantly higher among male patients, younger patients, those who underwent surgical treatment, and the falls from higher heights. These findings highlight the necessity of long-term follow-up and support in patients with intertrochanteric fractures.
