Objective:Compare mortality and complications of distal femur fracture repair among elderly patients who receive operative fixation versus distal femur replacement (DFR).Design:Retrospective comparison.Setting:Medicare beneficiaries.Patients/Participants:Patients 65 years of age and older with distal femur fracture identified using Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services data from 2016 to 2019.Intervention:Operative fixation (open reduction with plating or intramedullary nail) or DFR.Main Outcome Measurements:Mortality, readmissions, perioperative complications, and 90-day cost were compared between groups using Mahalanobis nearest-neighbor matching to account for differences in age, sex, race, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index.Results:Most patients (90%, 28,251/31,380) received operative fixation. Patients in the fixation group were significantly older (81.1 vs. 80.4 years, P< 0.001), and there were more an open fractures (1.6% vs. 0.5%, P< 0.001). There were no differences in 90-day (difference: 1.2%[− 0.5% to 3%], P= 0.16), 6-month (difference: 0.6%[− 1.5% to 2.7%], P= 0.59), and 1-year mortality (difference:− 3.3%[− 2.9 to 2.3], P= 0.80). DFR had greater 90-day (difference: 5.4%[2.8%–8.1%], P< 0.001), 6-month (difference: 6.5%[3.1%–9.9%], P< 0.001), and 1-year readmission (difference: 5.5%[2.2–8.7], P= 0.001). DFR had significantly greater rates of infection, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and device-related complication within 1 year from surgery. DFR ($57,894) was significantly more expensive than operative fixation ($46,016; P< 0.001) during the total 90-day episode.Conclusions:Elderly patients with distal femur fracture have a 22.5% 1-year mortality rate. DFR was associated with significantly greater infection, device-related complication, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, cost, and readmission within 90 days, 6 months, and 1 year of surgery.Level of Evidence:Therapeutic Level III.
