To describe the nutritional and functional changes that occurred in older patients with a femur fracture following a dietary intervention and oral nutritional support implemented at an orthogeriatric unit in Aragon, Spain. Open-label, prospective study. Patients were consecutively recruited and arranged into three groups based on their CONtrolling NUTritional (CONUT ® ) score and nutritional needs. Nutritional status was assessed while in hospital, and at 45-, 100- and 180-days post-hospital discharge. One hundred and sixty-nine patients [mean age: 86 years ( SD  ± 5.48)] were recruited (July 2017 to January 2020). At admission, 53.3% were at risk of malnutrition; 26.6% were malnourished; 20.1% were well-nourished. Variable proportions of malnourished patients at admission were well-nourished 45-, 100-, and 180-days post-discharge. CONUT ®  and Barthel index correlations showed that as nutritional status enhanced, patients gained functionality. Dietary interventions and nutritional support may help restoring the nutritional and functional status of older patients with a femur fracture.
