One-year change in handgrip strength in patients with hip fracture: a prospective comparison with hip disease.

Published in: BMC geriatrics (2023)

The preoperative HGS in fracture patients may have been underestimated, due to different position of the arm, insufficient practice, or pain. Subsequently, HGS was rather constant during 1-year indicating no development of general sarcopenia after treatment for hip fracture. Therefore, in hip fracture patients, the predischarge HGS might be more reliable than preoperative HGS.
