Aim The number of centenarians has quadrupled over the last 2 decades with an increase in the number presenting with proximal femur fractures. Very little is known about mortality and morbidity in this age group. There is a subjective assumption that they are too frail and may not do well with surgery. This audit aims to outline improved outcomes of surgery in centenarian patients with NOF fractures following dedicated modified physiotherapy intervention. Method Data reviewing centenarian NOF outcomes over a two-year period (2015-2016) was compared with outcomes following a dedicated post-operative physiotherapy trust protocol for centenarian NOF patients. 16 patients (15 female, 1 male) from Jan 2017- August 2019 were identified. Data was analysed for patient demographics, surgical details including anaesthesia, post-operative complications, physiotherapy outcomes and mortality. Results 10 patients had dynamic hip screws and 6 patients had hemiarthroplasties. Inpatient mortality was 0% compared to previous audit of 8.3%. The average length of stay had reduced from 23.3 days in previous audit to 18.5 days in current. 82% of patients could transfer with frame in the post-operative period. Conclusions Positive surgical outcomes are demonstrated even in centenarians particularly when given tailored post-operative physiotherapy with reduced length of stay, mortality, and high levels of physiotherapy compliance. Comparisons with younger elderly patients will help guide future management.
