Key Points Question Is preoperative planning using computer-assisted virtual surgical technology associated with decreases in the risks of all-cause 90-day mortality and postoperative complications among older patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures? Findings In this cohort study of 1221 older patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures, the use of computer-assisted virtual preoperative planning among a propensity score–matched cohort was associated with a lower incidence of 90-day mortality and postoperative complications compared with the use of conventional preoperative planning. Meaning This study’s findings suggest that preoperative planning using computer-assisted virtual surgical technology for older patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures is associated with decreases in the risks of all-cause 90-day mortality and postoperative complications.
