Abstract: Hip fractures in the geriatric population cause short and long term pain, impaired function, and reduced quality of life. The overall one year mortality after hip fractures for the elderly patients is high (approximately 20-25%) [1]. One-half of all hip fractures are intertrochanteric fractures [2].
