Aim:
To understand the management provided for different types of femur fractures that are admitted to hospitals globally, and the outcomes for patients with these fractures.
Objectives
1. To audit mortality, morbidity, and mobility outcomes 30 days after admission with femur fractures globally
2. To describe the management of femur fractures in hospitals globally
In comparing outcomes by management received, facility type, and global location, we will provide data to inform health system planning and utility for global advocacy.
