| One-year survival rate (%) | 96.3 (52/54) | 85.5 (71/83) | 93.3 (14/15) | 0.108 |
Waiting time, waiting time from visit to surgery; ORIF, open reduction and internal fixation; BHA, bipolar hip arthroplasty; Returned to their original living environment, the percentage of patients who were able to return to their previous facility or home environment; Regained walking ability, the proportion of patients who regained the ability to walk independently or with minimal assistance. The data of patients who did not have the ability to walk before surgery were excluded from the calculation.
