Question: Is preinjury ambulatory status associated with 1-year mortality following lateral compression Type I fractures in the geriatric population older than 80 years?
Answer: This is the first study to demonstrate a difference in 1-year mortality between patients who were community ambulators versus those who were household ambulators or nonfunctional ambulators before injury. With our aging population, these findings have important implications. Maintenance of general conditioning and early mobilization with physical therapy after injury is a key part of geriatric orthopedic rehabilitation.
