Abstract PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between femoral offset(FO) and clinical outcomes of patients with femoral neck fracture following bipolar hip arthroplasty(BHA). Materials and MethodsThis study recruited 520 patients who underwent BHA for femoral neck fracture from December 2003 to September 2018 with a minimum follow-up of one year. Excluding those with unclear medical records, a previous surgical history on the affected or contralateral hip, a congenital deformity and preoperative trauma history of the hip, high-energy multiple trauma, a history of neurodegenerative disease or cerebrovascular disease, a total of 77 patients were included in the analysis. The subjects were 54 females and 23 males. The mean age of patients was 74.6(65-95) years old and the mean follow-up period was 30.5 (12-136) months. For clinical assessment, postoperative pain visual analogue scale(VAS) and Harris hip score (HHS) were analyzed at each follow-up period. For radiological assessment, the difference in leg length discrepancy (LLD) and FO was measured. FO nearest to the real value was calculated using the values corrected for magnification and rotation errors on the anteroposterior view of plain radiographs taken at the first year of follow-up. In statistical analyses, the statistical significance between FO and clinical outcomes was analyzed using the Pearson correlation tests with SPSS v. 25.0. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsThe difference in mean FO postoperatively was 6.7(±4.8) mm, and the difference in mean postoperative LLD was 4.9 (±3.4). The mean HHS was 77.1(±7.7), 82.3(±8.6), 83.4(±7.7), and 86.4(±6.7) at 1st , 3rd , 6th and 12th postoperative months, respectively. In the analysis using the Pearson correlation coefficient, the correlation coefficient between FO and HHS in 1-year follow-up was -0.38, and a significant outcome was found (p=0.001). Of HHS domain, the correlation coefficient for function in 1-year follow-up was -0.42, revealing a significant outcome (p=0.0001).ConclusionThere was a stastically significant correlation between clinical oucomes and FO difference at 1 year after BHA in patients with femoral neck fractures older than 65 years.

A csípőtáji törésekhez idős korban magas halálozás társul. A szakirodalomban kevés a nagy beteganyagot feldolgozó, országos kiterjedésű ellátórendszer adatain alapuló feldolgozás. Célkitűzés: A tanulmány célja a 60 év feletti akut, monotraumás combnyaktöröttek primer ellátását követő halálozások vizsgálata havonta és évente ötéves utánkövetéssel, valamint a különböző rizikófaktoraik halálozásra gyakorolt hatásainak értékelése az egyes időperiódusokban. Módszer: Az adatok az Országos Egészségbiztosítási Pénztár adatbázisából származnak. Az értékelés bázisát a fekvőbeteg-ellátást végző intézményekből combnyaktörés primer műtéti ellátását követően 2000. évben emittált betegek képezik. Bemutatjuk az átlagos évenkénti, havonkénti és heti halálozási arányokat, valamint rizikótényezők szerinti alakulásukat havonként és évenként. A rizikótényezők és a halálozás kapcsolatának értékelése logisztikus és Cox-regressziós analízissel történik. Eredmények: A tanulmányban 3783 fő került elemzésre. Átlagéletkoruk 77,97 (SD 8,52) év. A halálozás az első héten 1,71%, 30 napon belül 8,99%, az első évben 30,74%, öt év alatt 61,88% volt. A halálozás havi szinten az első 5 hónapig mutat csökkenést, éves szinten az első év után stagnál. A rizikófaktorok közül a férfinem és a magasabb életkor öt évig, a kísérőbetegségek hatásai a negyedik évig, a laterális combnyaktöréstípus és a 12 órán túli ellátás két évig, a korai lokális szövődmények egy évig, a hétvégi ellátások az első hónapban eredményeznek magasabb halálozási kockázatot. Az országos és egyetemi ellátásokat követően az első évben alacsonyabb a halálozási kockázat. Következtetések: A csípőtáji törések managementjében a halálozások csökkentése érdekében hangsúlyozzuk a 12 órán belüli ellátás, a törési típusnak megfelelő módszerválasztás, a hét minden napján történő azonos ellátási feltételek biztosítása, az ellátások centrumokba történő szervezése, a beteg általános állapotának és kísérőbetegségeinek megfelelő akut ellátás és az utókezelések fontosságát.

Abstract Background:This study assessed the changes in hip muscles by comparing the preoperative and postoperative CT scan results between patients with intertrochanteric versus femoral neck fractures. Methods:48 patients who received surgical treatment for intertrochanteric or femoral neck fractures from February 2013 to February 2019 and underwent pelvic computed tomography(CT) preoperative and postoperatively aged 65 and older with a minimum follow-up of 1 year were included. The subjects were divided into two groups: 26 patients with intertrochanteric fracture and 22 patients with femoral neck fracture. We measured the cross-sectional area(CSA) and attenuation of the gluteus medius(G.med), gluteus minimus(G.min), iliopsoas(IP), and rectus femoris(RF) on the contralateral side. Patient basic data were collected from medial records including sex, age, height, weight, BMI, BMD, Harris hip score (HHS), and length of follow-up until the final visit. Results: There was no significant difference in sex, age, height, weight, BMI, BMD, HHS, and length of follow-up until the final visit between two groups. The femoral neck fracture group had significantly larger CSA and cross-sectional area per weight(CSA/Wt) of the G.med and G.min(G.med CSA, CSA/wt preoperative 1995.29 vs 1713.64, 38.87 vs 32.74; postoperative 2144.98 vs 1815.56, 37.48 vs 32.78/G.min preoperative 745.22 vs 566.59, 14.32 vs 10.96; postoperative 764.39 vs 619.17, 14.78 vs 11.25). On the contrary, the intertrochanteric fracture group had significantly greater CSA and CSA/Wt of the IP and RF(IP preoperative 810.86 vs 661.88, 17.73 vs 9.42; postoperative 681.98 vs 571.32, 12.68 vs 9.88/RF preoperative 503.66 vs 386.72, 9.42 vs 7.23; postoperative 426.24 vs 349.31, 7.17 vs 5.23). HHS related with function had no significant correlation with postoperative CSA and CSA/Wt. There was no significant difference in attenuation between two groups. All subjects had a significant decrease of muscle attenuation postoperatively.Conclusions: The CSA of the hip abductor(G.med and G.min) was significantly larger in the femoral neck fracture group, while the CSA of the hip flexor(IP and RF) was significantly higher in the intertrochanteric fracture group. Based on these findings, choosing the rehabilitation program suitable for the fracture site is expected to be beneficial in hip fracture rehabilitation.

Objective To examine the imaging evidence of the use of percutaneous compression plate (PCCP) in promoting femoral neck fracture healing compared with cannulated screws (CS). Methods This retrospective study enrolled patients with femoral neck fractures undergoing internal fixation procedures. The patients were divided into a PCCP group and a CS group with imaging as the primary outcome and Harris hip score (HHS) as the secondary outcome. Results This study included 162 patients: 80 in the PCCP group and 82  in the CS group. There were no significant differences between the patients in their preoperative baseline characteristics. Patient follow-up ranged from 24–56 months (mean 30.7 months). Differences in reduction quality, screw slipping, neck shortening and avascular necrosis (AVN) were not significant between the two groups. There were significant differences between the treatment groups in bone absorption, nonunion, healing time, screw withdrawal and fixation failure in favour of the PCCP group. Postoperative HHS at 6 and 12 months were significantly better for the PCCP group than the CS group, but the differences were not significant at 24 months and last follow-up. Conclusion Stable internal fixation with dynamic compression was the key to PCCP promoting femoral neck fracture healing.

Abstract BACKGROUND Non-traumatic fractures caused by convulsions are relatively rare and are often overlooked due to the lack of obvious evidence of injury. Non-traumatic fractures due to convulsions are diverse, but the concomitant of pelvic and femoral fractures has not been reported previously. CASE SUMMARY A 47-year-old woman with a no significant medical history, was taken to the nearest hospital after one episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizure that had occurred during sleep. After the postictal phase, the patient regained consciousness and experienced diffuse pain in the inguinal regions bilaterally with inability to stand or walk. The entire attack was witnessed by the family members who confirmed that there was not external trauma. Blood investigations revealed high creatinine and uric acid levels, along with a low calcium level. Conventional radiograph of the pelvis was performed to detect the cause of pain. The patient was noted to have a pelvic fracture and unilateral fracture of the neck of the femur. She was then transferred to our hospital for further management. The patient was diagnosed as having Tile type B3 pelvic fractures combined with a Garden type III femoral neck fracture on three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT). In view of her blood results, nephrology consultation was sought. The patient was identified as having a stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia. However, neurological examination showed no abnormalities. No surgical intervention was adopted for her pelvic fractures. In addition to complete bed rest, closed reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation was performed for the treatment of the right femoral neck fracture. An arteriovenous fistula was created for maintenance hemodialysis on the tenth postoperative day. At follow-up, twelve months follow-up after the operation, the patient had a normally gait and was satisfied with the outcome. CONCLUSION Patients who present with convulsive seizures especially patients with ion metabolism disorder should be examined thoroughly to ensure that no injury is missed.

Abstract Background: Femoral neck fracture is a serious injury in adults with significant functional consequences.Internal fixtion is an established treatment for femoral neck fractures in young adult patients .However, the risk of complications following fixation has plague orthopedists for decades.In all femoral neck fracture ,Pauwels type-III femoral neck fractures with a large vertical shear force were more likely to cause clinical failure.The aim of this study is to intruduce a new surgical technique for the treatment of this fracture according to the morphology of the fracture using the combination of Pauwels screw and inverted triangle cannulated screws(PSTCS),and report the clinical effects in a prospective cohort of 14 patients.Methods: From June 2017 to June 2019, a total of 14 patients (8 males and 6 females ) with Pauwels type-III femoral neck fracture underwent the surgical treatment of PSTCS according to the morphologyical types of fracture in clinical operation in our department. Patients were allowed to perform contraction exercises of quadriceps femoris on postoperative day1, passive flexion and extension exercises postoperative day 2 onwards, and active flexion and extension exercises postoperative day 7 onwards. Patients were allowed for partial-weight bearing walking postoperative 1month onwards with axillary crutches. After one month AP and lateral radiograph were taken. Full ambulation was permitted until the presence of radiological consolidation.Intraoperative (Operative duration,Blood loss),postoperation(Fracture union time,The Harris Hip Score,Visual analog score) were record for comparison.Results: All patients were followed up for at least 12 months.In the end point of the follow up ,12 of the 14 patients (85.7%)with pauwels type-III femoral neck fractures had achieved satisfactory hip function. Operative duration was a mean of 49.5 ±10.4 minutes.Intraoperative blood loss was between 26 and 110 ml (mean, 44.4±20.6ml) and without intraoperative blood transfusion . The Harris Hip Score was between 64 and 95(mean,87.6±8.9).Fracture healing was observed in all patients according to the X-ray . No internal fixation was loosened or screw cut-out in the follow-up period.The femoral head necrosis was observed in 1 patient in this study. In addition, there was no obvious fracture displacement, femoral neck shortening, or hip varus. Conclusions: The study showed that PSTCS can provide a satisfactory clinical outcomes for treatment of pauwels type-III femoral neck fractures.Most patients (85.7%) achieved good or excellent results with the use of PSTCS,which appears to be a reliable method and provides another choice for this problematic fracture.The new internal fixation method of PSTCS can provide mechanical stability and promote fracture healing
