What is the Orthopedic Frailty Score?

According to a study on hip fracture patients, individuals with an elevated Orthopedic Frailty Score (OFS) face a substantially increased risk of mortality, complications, and a more prolonged hospital stay. The Orthopedic Frailty Score (OFS) is a validated clinical tool designed to assess the degree of frailty and predict short-term outcomes in specific orthopedic patient populations, particularly those with hip fractures.
