Hip fractures represent a common injury resulting from falls among older adults, significantly impairing their mobility and independence in daily activities, and substantially increasing mortality risk.

However, most existing studies focus predominantly on single-dimensional frailty assessments, which lack comprehensive insight into the integrated impact of multidimensional frailty on postoperative outcomes.
