Early and 1-year mortality of native geriatric distal femur fractures: A systematic review and time-to-event meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Distal femur fractures (DFF) account for 6% of all femoral fractures and predominate in females. The current 1-year mortality of DFF is currently reported to be between 10 and 38%, a wide margin, and confounded by multiple factors including age, high energy mechanisms, pathological and periprosthetic fractures. The purpose of this study was to assess and determine all-cause mortality following geriatric native distal femur fractures at 30 days, six months and one year.

Methods

- The databases Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE and NHS NICE Healthcare Databases Advanced Search Interface were searched in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Original research articles relevant to mortality outcomes in native geriatric distal femur fractures following low energy trauma were
