The rehabilitation of 3053 consecutive patients with femoral neck fractures from Stockholm County was followed up for 6 years. Of the patients 79 per cent were admitted from home. The majority of these patients returned home within 6 months, but patients from the city did so more slowly than patients from rural areas, and with increased secondary rehabilitation measures. Patients treated in general surgical units stayed longer and utilized more secondary rehabilitation resources than those treated in orthopaedic units. At 1 year most differences were equalized.Downloads
