Background

Distal femoral fractures are 10 times less common than hip fractures. 12-month mortality has been reported as 25–30% but there is no longer-term data. In Northumbria hip fractures have a 5-year mortality of 68%.

Objectives

To analyse 5-year mortality in distal femur fractures in the Northumbrian NHS trust, and identify risk factors for mortality. To compare the results to literature standards and Northumbrian hip fracture data.
