PURPOSE. To review the outcomes of cancellous screw fixation for undisplaced @entity2249 in elderly @entity1 and to identify the risk factors associated with poor outcomes. METHODS. Medical records of 100 @entity1 aged 61 to 94 (mean, 78) years who underwent internal fixation with cancellous screws for undisplaced @entity2249 were reviewed. According to the Garden classification, 85 @entity174 were type 1 ( @entity174 ) and 15 were type 2 (complete, undisplaced @entity174 ). @entity86 and @entity158 were assessed through a telephone survey. Outcome measures included the length of surgery, length of hospital stay, perioperative complications, @entity282 , pre- and post-operative mobility status, and rates and causes of implant revision and mortality. RESULTS. Of the 96 @entity1 followed up for a mean of 39 (range, 25-76) months, 8 underwent revision surgery for avascular @entity39 of the @entity2738 (n=5) or non-union/implant failure (n=3). Of the 68 @entity1 assessed for @entity282 and mobility, 15 had @entity158 on movement, whereas 55 could ambulate independently with or without walking aids (out of 61 that could do so preoperatively). Overall, 30 @entity1 had a decrease in their mobility status. @entity1 aged >75 years (compared with those aged  <=75 years) were associated with longer length of hospital stay (12.7 vs. 10.2 days, p=0.047) and higher mortality rate (23% vs. 7%, p=0.044). The length of hospital stay was also associated with presence of @entity299 / cerebrovascular accident (14.4 vs. 11.04 days, p=0.002). @entity158 , mobility, and rates of complication and revision were not associated with any of the variables. CONCLUSION. Cancellous screw fixation for undisplaced @entity2249 in elderly @entity1 was associated with relatively low complication and revision rates.
