Characteristics of the operative and conservative group (only type B2 fractures according to AO/ASIF) and differences between the groups. Values are presented in Mean, Standard Deviation (SD), Median and Interquartile Range (IQR); n = number of patients evaluated, if different from total number; NRS = Numeric Rating Scale, PAINAD = Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia
