Although these patients are more susceptible to fractures due to higher risk of falls, this does not seem to affect recovery, as the authors evidenced no difference in postoperative complications and mortality rates within 2 years between PD and non-PD patients. In contrast, PD patients reported more contralateral hip fractures as de novo fracture. Due to the work’s limitations, this letter will present recent evidence with different results on postoperative outcomes in different types of fractures. …
