Core Tip
Core Tip: Femoral neck fractures (FNF) are primarily caused by the loss of osteoporotic bone mass, and they tend to affect elderly adults. Some elderly patients with FNF have poor post-surgical outcomes due to unknown causes. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 120 elderly patients with FNF and found that preoperative psychological stress was associated with a poor short-term prognosis in these patients, which is a breakthrough discovery in the understanding of the cause of poor prognosis among elderly patients with FNF.
