The investigators have organised a Patient Feedback Session in Leeds, comprising of patients who previously sustained hip fractures and who underwent surgical fixation (either cephalomedullary nail or dynamic/sliding hip screw). According to the feedback that was provided, the most important issue highlighted was how quickly the patients regain their functional capacity (mobility) and by inference their independence and overall quality of life, to pre-injury levels. The length of hospital stay was also an important parameter in their judgement.
