title: [Quality of life of patients after periprosthetic hip fracture surgery].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The quality of life of patients with periprosthetic fracture is complex; it interacts with the severity of the lesion, their independence level, and available resources, all of which could cause alterations secondary to their condition.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To know the quality of life and clinical course of patients after periprosthetic hip fracture surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients with periprosthetic hip fracture were assessed. Physical exam was performed and the SF-36 questionnaire was applied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 15 patients were included, 8 (53.3%) females and 7 (46.7%) males, with mean age 74 years (SD 12.51). Concerning underlying conditions, 5 patients had none (33.3%), one had hypertension (6.7%), one had a neoplasia (epidermoid), and 8 had more than one underlying condition. A predictive variable model was designed. In the overall score a 75.6% positive correlation was found, and a 57.2% determination coefficient. There was no statistical significance (p = 0.162). The same variables as in the previous model were included. Correlation was 0.678 and determination 45.9%, without statistical significance, p = 0.332.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Patients reported feeling fair from the perspective of their overall health, physical function, physical role, emotional role, and social function; mental health wise, 50% reported feeling calm and full of life, and 50% reported anxiety and fear.
