[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with discharge to home of proximal femoral fracture patients aged 85 years or over. [Subjects] The subjects were 21 patients with proximal femoral fracture over 85 years of age. [Methods] we divided the subjects into two groups by discharge destination. (home, other) Then we investigated age, length of stay, fracture type, dementia, complications, use of care insurance, FIM, transportation and living with family from medical records. [Results] In the home group, patients had less use of care insurance before injury, higher FIM score before injury and at discharge, and were able to walk. [Conclusion] High ADL before injury, ability to walk at the time of discharge, and good control of excretion were factors to increasing the probability of discharge to home.
