Résumé

Surgery and non-operative treatment produce similar 1-year functional outcomes in patients older than 65 years. Data are lacking for patients older than 75 years. The main objective of this study was to compare surgical vs. non-operative treatment regarding short-term outcomes in patients older than 75 years. In addition to an overall analysis, sub-group analyses were done in patients with displacement and severe displacement (>20 ° posterior tilt).
