In hospitals of larger size and higher level of care the time to surgery for patients with a proximal femur fracture was significantly higher than in smaller hospitals. No negative effects regarding in-house mortality, but for ambulation status during in-hospital stay could be observed. As the number of these patients will constantly increase, specific treatment capacities should be established regardless of the hospitals size.
