Background: Geriatric hip fractures are mostly managed by internal fixation (IF) or hemiarthroplasty (HA). Survivorship of dementia patients following these surgeries has not been extensively compared in literature. By analysis of nationwide database, this study aimed to investigate the impact of dementia on two-year mortality after IF and HA in treating geriatric hip fractures.
