Introduction Total hip arthroplasty is recommended for elderly patients with fractured neck of femur who are independently mobile, have few co-morbidities and are not cognitively impaired. Providing a daily total hip arthroplasty service is challenging for some units in the UK and considering that these patients may be physiologically distinct from the average hip fracture patient, loss of the best practice tariff as a result of surgical delay may be unjustified. The aim of this study was to determine whether time to surgical intervention for patients eligible for total hip arthroplasty had a negative impact on patient complications, length of stay and functional outcomes. Methods All patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty for fractured neck of femur at our institution over a ten-year period were identified. Complications and functional outcomes were compared between patients receiving total hip arthroplasty before and after 36 hours. Results Of 112 consecutive patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty, 70 responded to a questionnaire or telephone consultation. Four patients were excluded owing to delayed presentation, the presence of advanced rheumatoid arthritis or a pathological fracture. Two-thirds (64%) of the remaining 66 patients underwent surgery within 36 hours of presentation. There were no significant differences between the groups of patients receiving surgery before or after 36 hours with regard to postoperative length of stay, complications, Oxford hip scores or visual analogue scale scores for state of health. Conclusions Delaying surgery for patients eligible for total hip arthroplasty as per the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines is justified and should not incur loss of the best practice tariff.

A modified lateral approach of Hardinge allows adequate access for orientation of the implant was described. Although this approach is more difficult than the posterior approach, there is a learning curve, when mastered, it'll definitely reduce the incidence of dislocation. In the Author's opinion, this approach should be used routinely for total hip arthroplasty for fractured neck of femur where the incidence of dislocation is unacceptably high using the posterior approach.

Aims Displaced femoral neck fractures (FNF) may be treated with partial (hemiarthroplasty, HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA), with recent recommendations advising that THA be used in community-ambulant patients. This study aims to determine the association between the proportion of FNF treated with THA and year of surgery, day of the week, surgeon practice, and private versus public hospitals, adjusting for known confounders. Patients and Methods Data from 67 620 patients in the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) from 1999 to 2016 inclusive were used to generate unadjusted and adjusted analyses of the associations between patient, time, surgeon and institution factors, and the proportion of FNF treated with THA. Results Overall, THA was used in 23.7% of patients. THA was more frequently used over time, in younger patients, in healthier patients, in cases performed on weekdays (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.27; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14 to 1.41), in private hospitals (adjusted OR 4.34; 95% CI 3.94 to 4.79) and by surgeons whose hip arthroplasty practice has a relatively higher proportion of elective patients (adjusted OR 1.65; 95% CI 1.49 to 1.83). Conclusion Practice variation exists in the proportion of FNF patients treated with THA due to variables other than patient factors. This may reflect variation in resources available and surgeon preference, and uncertainty regarding the relative indication.

Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the trends in national practice regarding total hip arthroplasty compared with hemiarthroplasty in fractured neck of femur between 2010 and 2016. Materials and methods A retrospective review was conducted of NHS Digital data (England) between 2010 and 2016. ‘Emergency’ neck of femur fracture admissions, hemiarthroplasties and total hip arthroplasties were included. Elective total hip arthroplasties, revisions and prostheses relocations were excluded. Annual percentages for each operation were calculated. Trends were tabulated and displayed graphically for analysis. Results The total number of emergency neck of femur diagnoses was 257,789. Total hip arthroplasty was performed in 2217, 2737, 3305, 3686, 3670 and 3825 patients and hemiarthroplasty was performed in 21,335, 21,744, 21,115, 21,798, 21,804 and 22,163 patients for each year between 2011 and 2016, respectively. The rate of change for total hip arthroplasty slowed from 24.54% increase/year (2011–2013) to 5.24% increase/year (2013–2016). Uncemented arthroplasties decreased over the same time period. Discussion Increasing numbers of total hip arthroplasties are conducted for hip fractures; however, this trend has slowed since 2013. Possible explanations include all eligible fractures being treated with total hip arthroplasty, trauma surgeon preference for hemiarthroplasty due to lower surgical specialism or publication of individual surgeon data (National Joint Registry) which may lead to surgeons favouring hemiarthroplasties which have a lower complication rate compared to elective total hip arthroplasties.

Because of preservation of proximal femoral bone stock and minimized soft tissue trauma, short-stem implants are becoming increasingly important in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The postulated advantage regarding the functional outcome has not been verified. We hypothesized an increased abductor muscle strength by the use of a short-stem design. Seventy consecutive patients of a randomized clinical trial were included. Of these, 67 patients met the inclusion criteria after 12 months. Thirty-five patients received a standard straight stem and 32 patients a short-stem femoral component. All surgeries were performed by a modified direct lateral approach. Isometric muscle strength of the hip abductors was evaluated preoperatively 3 and 12 months after surgery. Harris hip score (HHS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were evaluated. After three months, there were no differences between the two groups; the abductor force was comparable to the preoperative initial values. After 12 months, a significant increase in muscle strength for the short stem patient group compared to preoperative baseline values was measured (straight-stem THA, 0.09 Nm/kg ± 0.4, p = 0.32; short-stem THA, 0.2 Nm/kg ± 0.3, p = 0.004). Comparison of the 12-month postoperative total HHS and WOMAC revealed no significant differences between both groups. A significant increase in hip abductor muscle strength 12 months after short-stem THA compared to conventional-stem THA was observed.

AbstractReturn to work (RTW) has been specifically identified as a high priority in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). This investigation sought to assess the effect of the stem design on patients’ RTW. Secondly, the study aimed to identify risk factors that lead to a delayed RTW. Questionnaires inquiring about RTW, employment history, educational level, type of work, physical demands and joint awareness were administered by post. Further data were collected from patients’ hospital records. 176 patients who underwent THA using a short-stem and 97 patients using a straight-stem design were compared. The median return to work time was 10 weeks [IQR 7–14 weeks], with no significant difference between the two groups (short stems vs. straight stems; 10 [IQR 7–14] vs. 11 [7.5–13.5] weeks; p = 0.693). In the multivariate linear regression analysis, self-employment vs. employee (p = 0.001), dimension of preoperative workload (p = 0.001), preoperative sick leave (p < 0.001), and hospital length of stay (LOS) (p < 0.001) independently affected the period until work was resumed. The Forgotten-Joint-Score-12 showed no significant difference between the two groups. The data show that the majority of THA patients can expect to resume work and stem design has no impact on RTW. Employees with preoperative sick leave, prolonged hospital LOS and low workload are at higher risk for a delayed RTW.
