Geriatric patients undergoing distal femur ORIF are at significant risk for 30-day morbidity and mortality. After matching, octogenarians and older patients specifically are at increased risk for mortality, non-home discharge, and surgical complications compared to patients aged 60-79 years old. Multiple factors, such as BMI status, ASA classification, operative time, and certain medical comorbidities, are independently associated with poor 30-day outcomes.
