Background: With increasing geriatric patient population worldwide, hip fracture exists as a major health-care issue with its high mortality, morbidity, and financial liability. Anesthetists play a very important role in the perioperative care of these patients.
Methods: The present study was a prospective observational study and was registered prospectively in the clinical trials registry- India (CTRI) with registration number of CTRI/2018/03/012853. Duration of study was from August 2017 to November 2018.
Results: A maximum of (n=43) patients had a mobility scale of 7 at 30 days. (n=46) had a mobility scale of 6 at 60 days. Bimodal peaks were seen at 90 days with (n=27) had a mobility scale of 4 and (n=28) had a mobility score of 6 at 90 days. The median mobility score was 7(7-9), 6(6-7), 4.5(4-6) at 30, 60 and 90 day postoperatively.
