[Influence of nocturnal surgery on mortality and complications in patients with hip fractures].

We therefore investigated the influence of the time of day on mortality and complication rates in surgery for hip fractures. ⋯ Given a medical team with equal qualifications and size, we consider nocturnal surgery for hip fractures to be as appropriate as surgery during the day.
