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.

Objective: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the availability of lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LACN) autograft for acute or delayed repair of segmented digital nerve injuries. Patients and Methods: 13 digital nerve defects of 11 patients; treated with interposition of LACN graft that harvested from ipsilateral extremity were included in the study. Mean follow up period was 35, 7 months. The mean time from injury to grafting is 53, 3 days. The results of the mean 2PDT and SWMT values of injured /uninjured finger at the end of follow up period were evaluated with Paired T test. The correlation between the defect length and the difference of 2PDT, SWMT values between the uninjured and injured finger at the end of follow up period; were evaluated with Pearson - correlation analysis. Results: The mean value of our 2PDT and SWMT results are ~5,923, ~3, 52, respectively in which can be interpreted between the normal and diminished light touch. The defect length and difference percentage of SWMT values is positively and significantly correlated statistically. Mean length of interposed nerve grafts was 18.5 mm. The age of the patient and the mean values of 2PDT and SWMT with the difference % of 2PDT and % of SWMT are not statistically correlated. Conclusion: Based on results regarding sensory regaining at recipient side and negligible sensory deficit at harvesting side, we suggest that lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve might be a valuable graft option for digital nerve defects.

This study was designed to compare the osteosynthesis and hemiarthroplasty treatment among the elderly population and evaluate the postoperative functional performance of these two recommended treatments of a displaced femoral neck fracture. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in Bone Care trauma center Heerabad  Hospital Hyderabad Pakistan from March 2019 to March 2020. A total of 74 patients of age between  60 to 70 years were selected. All the selected patients were diagnosed with femoral neck fractures (Garden’s III and IV). Harris's hip score was used to evaluate the clinical status of patients with pain, whereas we used Palmer and Parker's mobility to access mobility. Implant breakage, screw cut, and nonunion were considered as parameters of osteosynthesis failure. At the same time, hemiarthroplasty failure was defined as two or more recurrent dislocation, aseptic loosening, periprosthetic fracture, and infection. Results:  In the first three postoperative months, the mean score of the hemiarthroplasty group was reported as 74.44±8.480, which was comparatively high than the osteosynthesis group (66.44±8.520). After six months, this score reached 80.12±7.005 in the hemiarthroplasty group and reached its maximum of 92.14±7.125. After the first three months, the increment ratio was relatively slow with six ratios, but in the last visit, we observed a sudden increase in score in both groups. Regarding Palmer and Parker's mobility score, the hemiarthroplasty group reflected better outcomes than the osteosynthesis group. Conclusion: Our study concluded that management of displaced femoral neck fracture with osteosynthesis revealed a high probability of nonunion, screw cutout complications and enhanced the risk of reoperation. Patients treated with osteosynthesis showed delay rehabilitation.

Background: Amblyopia is more common in children with high astigmatism, but factors contributing to development of amblyopia and visual outcomes are not fully understood. Objective: To evaluate the effect of amblyopia on the clinical outcomes in children with ⩾1.75 diopter (D) astigmatism. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of children with ⩾1.75 D astigmatism with and without amblyopia (amblyopes group and non-amblyopes group). The mean age, gender, amount and type of ocular deviation, presence of convergence insufficiency (CI), stereopsis, time of initial spectacle use and follow-up time, differences in best-corrected visual acuity (VoD) and spherical equivalent (SE) between eyes were assessed and compared between the groups. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), mean SE, astigmatism measurements were assessed and compared between amblyopic, fellow, and non-amblyopic eyes. Results: The records included 68 eyes of 34 children with amblyopia and 56 eyes of 28 children without amblyopia. The mean age, gender, amount and type of ocular deviation, presence of CI, stereopsis, time of initial spectacle use, follow-up time, and the difference in SE did not differ between groups. In amblyopes, exodeviation was more common and statistically greater in near (33 cm) than at distance (6 m) (p = 0.005). The mean BCVA and astigmatism values were statistically different between amblyopic, fellow, and non-amblyopic eyes. Conclusion: A greater near than distance exodeviation and higher mean astigmatism value were found in amblyopic children with astigmatism.

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.

Aims This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and prognosis of patients with spinal metastasis as the initial manifestation of malignancy (SM-IMM). Patients and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 338 patients who underwent surgical treatment for metastatic spinal disease. The enrolled patients were divided into two groups. The SM-IMM group included patients with no history of malignancy whose site of primary malignancy was diagnosed after the identification of spinal metastasis. The other group included patients with a history of treatment for primary malignancy who then developed spinal metastasis (SM-DTM). The incidence of SM-IMM by site of primary malignancy was calculated. The difference between prognoses after surgical treatment for SM-IMM and SM-DTM was established. Results The median follow-up period was 11.5 months (interquartile range (IQR) 3.2 to 13.4) after surgical treatment. During the follow-up period, 264 patients died; 74 patients survived. The SM-IMM group consisted of 94 patients (27.8%). The site of primary malignancy in the SM-IMM group was lung in 35/103 patients (34.0%), liver in 8/45 patients (17.8%), kidney in 10/33 patients (30.3%), colorectum in 3/29 patients (10.3%), breast in 3/22 patients (13.6%), prostate in 3/10 patients (30%), thyroid in 4/8 patients (50%), and ‘other’ in 28/88 patients (31.8%). On Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, the SM-IMM group showed a significantly longer survival than the SM-DTM group (p = 0.013). The mean survival time was 23.0 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 15.5 to 30.5) in the SM-IMM group and 15.5 months (95% CI 11.8 to 19.2) in the SM-DTM group. Conclusion Of the 338 enrolled patients who underwent surgical treatment for spinal metastasis, 94 patients (27.8%) underwent surgical treatment for SM-IMM. The SM-IMM group had an acceptable prognosis with surgical treatment. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:1379–1384.

Abstract Background Avascular necrosis (AVN) after pediatric femoral neck fracture (PFNF) showed poor prognosis, but its clinical and radiographic characteristics remained unclear. Methods A systematic review and a retrospective study were performed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic characteristics of patients with AVN after PFNF. Results A total of 686 patients with PFNF and 203 patients with AVN from 21 articles were analyzed. Ratliff’s classification was used in 178 patients, with types I, II, and III AVN accounting for 58.4%, 25.3%, and 16.3%, respectively. Ratliff’s assessment was used in 147 patients, of whom 88.4% had an unsatisfactory prognosis. In retrospective study, 115 patients with a mean age of 13.6 ± 2.0 years were included. The mean interval between AVN and PFNF was 13.7 ± 9.5 months. At the time of diagnosis, 59.1% cases were symptomatic and 65.2% progressed to collapsed stage. Fifty (43.5%), 61 (53.0%), and 4 patients (3.5%) were defined as types I, II, and III , respectively, via Ratliff’s classification. Thirteen (11.3%), 40 (34.8%), and 62 patients (53.9%) showed types A/B, C1, and C2 disease, respectively, via the JIC classification. Multivariate analysis demonstrated a strong relation between collapsed stage and symptomatic cases (OR = 6.25, 95% CI = 2.39–16.36) and JIC classification (OR = 3.41, 95% CI = 1.62–7.17). Conclusion AVN after PFNF showed a tendency toward extensive necrotic lesions, presumably resulting in a rapid progression of femoral head collapse. And the symptoms and the JIC classification are other two risk factors of collapse progression.
