Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of depression on functional healing and the return to pre-fracture daily activities in elderly patients with a hip fracture. The study comprised 104 elderly patients, who had a unilateral hip fracture between 2009 and 2012. To evaluate daily activities and functional healing of the cases, the study was designed as a prospective comparative study. The analysis results revealed that the change in the mean ADL scores was related to depression at a statistically significant level (p = 0.000). This study results showed that depression had a negative effect on the daily activity level of these cases.
