Functional and clinical outcomes of patients aged younger and older than 85 years after rehabilitation post-hip fracture surgery in a co-managed orthogeriatric unit.

Both groups (aged <85 and ≥85 years) showed a significant functional improvement at discharge. Older patients show a residual ability to recover after surgery. A high rehabilitation efficiency - regardless of age - should be pursued even for the oldest old patients experiencing hip fracture. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; 18: 1194-1199.
