Li J, Li P, Li Y. Effect of rapid rehabilitation care on surgical site wound infection and pain in patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures: A meta-analysis. Int Wound J 2024; 21:e14540. [PMID: 38069603 PMCID: PMC10961049 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 03/25/2024] Open
Abstract
This study examines the effects of rapid rehabilitation on surgical site wound infections and pain in patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures. A computerised search was conducted for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on rapid rehabilitation care in patients undergoing surgery for intertrochanteric femoral fractures published in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Database, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. The search was conducted from the time of the database construction to August 2023. Two investigators independently performed literature screening, data extraction and quality assessment based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed via RevMan 5.4 software. Encompassing 21 studies involving 2004 patients, with 1007 patients receiving rapid rehabilitation care and 997 receiving routine care, our analysis revealed that rapid rehabilitation care significantly reduced postoperative complications (odds ratio [OR] = 0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.17-0.33, p < 0.001), wound infections (OR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.14-0.65, p = 0.002) and hospital stay (mean difference [MD] = -5.23, 95% CI: -6.03 to -4.43, p < 0.001). Moreover, compared with routine care, it notably improved wound pain (MD = -1.51, 95% CI: -1.98 to -1.05, p < 0.001) in patients undergoing surgery for intertrochanteric femoral fractures. Our findings underscore the effectiveness of rapid rehabilitation care in reducing wound pain, postoperative complications and wound infections among patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2024; 34:1571-1580. [PMID: 38305927 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-024-03838-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractures around the hip in older adults have increased in the last two decades, and the numbers are projected to rise over the next 30 years with estimates that half of them will occur in Asia. Proximal hip fractures should be operated within 48 h of injury to prevent poor outcomes. This study aims to benchmark current hip fracture care using quality improvement tools of care structure, care processes, and outcomes in a tertiary care hospital in Eastern India and determine the evidence-practice gaps and barriers to implementing the six best practices that reduce mortality and morbidity in fragility hip fractures. METHODS A total of 101 consecutive patients above 50 years of age with proximal femoral fractures after a trivial fall were included. Patients were divided into two groups: those operated within [Group A] and beyond [Group B] 72 h of admission. Care structure assessment included delays in admission, delay in surgery, and anesthesia risk grading. Care processes included the type of surgery performed and postoperative complications. The primary outcomes were the 30-day and 1-year mortality and the secondary outcomes included the length of stay, mobility at 6 months, return to pre-fracture independence, activity limitations, pressure sores, and readmission to the hospital. RESULTS Group A comprised 26 individuals, and the remaining 75 were in Group B. There were two deaths in Group A as compared to one death in Group B at 30 days; however, there were no new deaths at 1 year in Group A and 14 deaths in Group B (p = 0.187). Group B had lengthier hospital stays, poorer mobility, and higher physical and mental difficulties. No patients had re-operation on the initial fracture. CONCLUSION This study emphasizes the importance of early admission and fast provision of surgical fixation to reduce mortality and morbidity. Benchmarking institutional practices allows for defining the evidence-practice gaps and barriers to best practice implementation. This is an essential step to begin care quality improvement for geriatric patients with proximal femur fragility fractures.

Abstract
This study aims to summarize the prognosis and risk factors of nonoperative treatment patients of hip fracture with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). A total of 113 individuals of hip fracture with nonoperative treatment were retrospectively enrolled, 38 patients with ESRD were defined as the observation group, and the other 75 patients without ESRD were served as the control group. The difference in 30-day and 1-year mortality rate between the 2 groups was compared. The effects of risk factors on survival were estimated by the Cox proportional-hazards model. The survival difference was estimated by the method of Kaplan-Meier. In the subsequent subgroup analysis of the observation group, as before, the Cox proportional-hazards model and the Kaplan-Meier method were used. The 1-year mortality rate of the observation group was considerably higher than that of the control group, which was 86.84% and 32.0%, respectively (P < .005). For nonoperative treatment hip fracture subjects, ESRD, age ≥ 82, BMI (BMI) < 20, high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and low Barthel Index (BI) were associated with a low survival curve (P < .05). In the subsequent multivariable subgroup analyses, for nonoperative treatment hip fracture subjects with ESRD, high CCI and low BI were also the independent risk factors of mortality. For nonoperative treatment hip fracture subjects, ESRD, old age, low BMI, high CCI and low BI were the independent risk factors of mortality. For hip fracture subjects with ESRD, nonoperative treatment was associated with excess high 1-year mortality rate, especially for patients with high CCI and low BI.

Complication Rates and Survival of Nonagenarians after Hip Hemiarthroplasty versus Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation for Intertrochanteric Fractures: A 15-Year Retrospective Cohort Study of 113 Cases. Orthop Surg 2023; 15:3231-3242. [PMID: 37880497 PMCID: PMC10694023 DOI: 10.1111/os.13913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intertrochanteric fracture is a very common but serious type of hip fracture in nonagenarians. The surgical treatment remains a significant challenge for orthopedists. The objective of this study was to investigate postoperative complications and survival outcomes compared between bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA) and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) in nonagenarians with intertrochanteric fractures, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the two surgical procedures in this patient population. METHODS A total of 113 consecutive nonagenarians who underwent bipolar HA or PFNA for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures from January 2006 to August 2021 were retrospectively studied in the current paper. There were 34 males and 79 females, with a mean age of 92.2 years (range 90-101 years) at the time of operation. The average duration of follow-up was 29.7 months (range 1-120 months). The full cohort was divided into bipolar HA (77 cases) and PFNA (36 cases) groups. Damage control orthopedics was used to determine the optimal surgery time and assist in perioperative management. A restrictive blood transfusion strategy was employed, along with appropriate adjustments under multidisciplinary assessment, throughout the perioperative period. Perioperative clinical information and prognostic data were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used for survival analysis, and landmark analysis divided the entire follow-up period into 1-12 months (short-term), 13-42 months (medium-term) and 43-120 months (long-term) according to the configurations of Kaplan-Meier survival curves. RESULTS Both groups had similar general variables except for the proportion of high adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (aCCI) (≥6 points) (6.5% in bipolar HA group and 22.2% in PFNA group, p = 0.024). Intraoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements were greater, and the intraoperative transfusion rates were higher in the bipolar HA group compared to the PFNA group (all p < 0.05). The complications rates, 1- to 60-month cumulative all-cause mortality, postoperative optimal Harris hip score (HHS), and Barthel index (BI) presented no significant difference between the two groups (all p > 0.05). Both groups had similar overall survival curves (p = 0.37). However, landmark analysis revealed that bipolar HA group exhibited higher survival rates in medium-term (p = 0.01), while similar survival rates were observed in the short- and long-term post-operation periods (both p > 0.05). Cox regression with survival-time-dependent covariate calculated the hazard ratio (HR) of bipolar HA was 0.41 in medium-term (p = 0.039). CONCLUSION Bipolar HA is equally effective and reliable as PFNA for treating intertrochanteric fractures in nonagenarians. Despite resulting in more intraoperative blood loss and transfusions, bipolar HA therapy is associated with a higher medium-term survival rate compared to PFNA treatment. The application of damage control orthopedics and precise perioperative patient blood management could contribute to the positive clinical outcomes observed in this patient population.

Mortality following proximal femoral fractures in elderly patients: a large retrospective cohort study of incidence and risk factors. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:693. [PMID: 37649030 PMCID: PMC10466793 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06825-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Global prevalence of osteoporosis and fragility fractures is increasing due to the aging population. Proximal femoral fractures are among the most common orthopedic conditions in elderly that significantly cause health deterioration and mortality. Here, we aimed to evaluate the mortality rates and risk factors, besides the functional outcomes after these injuries. METHODS In a retrospective cohort study, all patients admitted with a femoral neck or intertrochanteric fracture between 2016 and the end of 2018 were enrolled in this study. Medical records were reviewed to include patients over 60 years of age who had a proximal femoral fracture and had a complete medical record and radiographs. Exclusion criteria included patients with pathological fractures, cancer under active treatment, follow-up loss, and patient access loss. Demographic and clinical features of patients alongside the details of fracture and patient management were recorded and analyzed. In-hospital and post-discharge mortalities due to included types of fractures at one and 12 months were the primary outcome. Modified Harris Hip Scores (mHHS) was the measure of functional outcome. RESULTS A total of 788 patients including 412 females (52.3%) and 376 males (47.7%) with a mean age of 76.05 ± 10.01 years were included in this study. Among patients, 573 (72.7%) had an intertrochanteric fracture, while 215 (27.3%) had a femoral neck fracture, and 97.1% of all received surgical treatment. With a mean follow-up of 33.31 months, overall mortality rate was 33.1%, and 5.7% one-month and 20.2% 12-months rates. Analysis of 1-month mortality showed a significant mortality difference in patients operated after 48 h of fracture (p = 0.01) and in patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores of 3-4 compared to ASA scores of 1-2 (p = 0.001). One-year mortality data showed that the mortality rate in femoral neck fractures was lower compared to other types of fracture. Surgical delay of > 48 h, ASA scores of 3-4, and treatment by proximal femoral plate were associated with shorter survival. The overall mean mHHS score was 53.80 ± 20.78. CONCLUSION We found several risk factors of mortality, including age ≥ 80 years, a > 48-hour delay to surgery, and pre-operative ASA scores of 3-4 in patients with proximal femoral fracture. Furthermore, the use of a proximal femoral plate was a significant risk factor for mortality and lower mHHS scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the Korean Hip Fracture Registry (KHFR) Study is to establish a nationwide, hospital-based prospective cohort study of adults with hip fracture to explore the incidence and risk factors of second osteoporotic fractures for a Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) model. METHODS The KHFR, a prospective multicenter longitudinal study, was launched in 2014. Sixteen centers recruited participants who were treated for hip fracture. The inclusion criteria were patients, who were treated for proximal femur fracture due to low-energy trauma and aged 50 or more at the time of injury. Until 2018, 5,841 patients were enrolled in this study. Follow-up surveys were conducted annually to determine occurrence of second osteoporotic fracture, and 4,803 participants completed at least one follow-up survey. DISCUSSION KHFR is a unique resource of individual level on osteoporotic hip fracture with radiological, medical, and laboratory information including DXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry), bone turnover marker, body composition, and hand grip strength for future analyses for FLS model. Modifiable factors for mortality after hip surgery is planned to be identified with nutritional assessment and multi-disciplinary interventions from hospitalization to follow-ups. The proportions of femoral neck, intertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures were 517 (42.0%), 730 (53.6%), and 60 (4.4%), respectively, from 2014 to 2016, which was similar in other studies. Radiologic definition of atypical subtrochanteric fracture was adopted and 17 (1.2%) fractures among 1,361 proximal femoral fractures were identified. Internal fixation showed higher reoperation rate compared to arthroplasty in unstable intertrochanteric fractures (6.1% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.046) with no significant difference in mortality. The KHFR plans to identify outcomes and risk factors associated with second fracture by conducting a 10-year cohort study, with a follow-up every year, using 5,841 baseline participants. TRIAL REGISTRATION Present study was registered on Internet-based Clinical Research and Trial management system (iCReaT) as multicenter prospective observational cohort study (Project number: C160022, Date of registration: 22th, Apr, 2016).

Abstract
Purpose Bipolar hemiarthroplasty has recently been acknowledged as an effective option for treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture. Trochanteric fragment nonunion can cause postoperative weakness of the abductor muscle and dislocation; therefore, reduction and fixation of the fragment is essential. The purpose of this study was to perform an evaluation and analysis of the outcomes of bipolar hemiarthroplasty using a useful wiring technique for management of unstable intertrochanteric fractures. Materials and Methods A total of 217 patients who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty using a cementless stem and a wiring technique for management of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures (AO/OTA classification 31-A2) at our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were included in this study. Evaluation of clinical outcomes was performed using the Harris hip score (HHS) and the ambulatory capacity reported by patients was classified according to Koval stage at six months postoperatively. Evaluation of radiologic outcomes for subsidence, breakage of wiring, and loosening was also performed using plain radiographs at six months postoperatively. Results Among 217 patients, five patients died during the follow-up period as a result of problems unrelated to the operation. The mean HHS was 75±12 and the mean Koval category before the injury was 2.5±1.8. A broken wire was detected around the greater trochanter and lesser trochanter in 25 patients (11.5%). The mean distance of stem subsidence was 2.2±1.7 mm. Conclusion Our wiring fixation technique can be regarded as an effective additional surgical option for fixation of trochanteric fracture fragments during performance of bipolar hemiarthroplasty.

Abstract
Background: the primary purpose of this study was to assess the ambulatory capacity 12 months after surgery in patients that underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BH) due to unstable intertrochanteric fractures (UITF). Secondly, to identify which preoperative variables influenced these modifications. Methods We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive series of patients older than 80 years with UITF treated with BH between 2010 and 2019. Ambulatory capacity was assessed before surgery, at 3 and 12 months postoperatively, using Koval's classification and the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS). The registered variables were: gender, age, osteoporosis, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), ASA classification, body mass index (BMI), and dementia. The identification of variables that impaired postoperative functionality was performed by uni- and multivariate analysis. Results 158 patients were included with a median age of 87 (range 80-102) years and a follow-up of 29.2 (range 12-56) months. The 1-year overall ambulatory capacity impairment was 28.5% and significantly affected pre-fracture community walkers (p = 0.001). A CCI >4 (OR 2.72; p = 0.044), dementia (OR 14.13; p = 0.0001), and a Koval 2-3 (OR 12.84; p = 0.001) were identified as risk factors for this impairment. Conclusion Ambulation impairment at one year was 28.5%. The predictive characteristics found in this study help to identify patients with a greater risk of ambulation impairment and to focus rehabilitation plans to reduce this impact.

Intertrochanteric fracture fixation in solid organ transplant patients: outcomes and survivorship. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 142:2739-2745. [PMID: 34345938 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-04096-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid organ transplantation (SOT) recipients have complex medical and surgical risk factors; however, the outcomes of these patients undergoing surgical fixation of hip fractures are unknown. This study sought to evaluate SOT patients' outcomes and survivorship after intertrochanteric (IT) fracture fixation. METHODS A retrospective review identified 12 SOT patients who underwent cephalomedullary (CMN) nail fixation for IT fractures and were matched (1:2) to a cohort of 24 non-SOT IT fracture patients. Perioperative results and complications, mortality/patient survivorship, and clinical outcomes were compared between the cohorts. RESULTS The time from presentation to surgical fixation was within 48 h of presentation for the non-SOT patients, while only 75% of SOT patients underwent surgery within 48 h of presentation (p = 0.034). The 90-day readmission rate for SOT patients was 25% versus 13% in the non-SOT group (p = 0.38). Similarly, the SOT cohort experienced a higher rate of major medical complication (25% vs. 13%, p = 0.38). There were two (16%) reoperations in the SOT group and three (13%) in the non-SOT matched group (p = 0.99). Respectively, the 90-day and 1-year estimated patient survivorship was similar between the two cohorts: SOT patients with 92% (95% CI 54-99%) and 73% (95% CI 24-93%) versus 86% (95% CI 62-95%) and 72% (95% CI 47-86%, HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.18-4.62, p = 0.92) in non-SOT patients. CONCLUSION SOT patients who underwent CMN fixation for IT fractures required more time from hospital presentation to surgical management than non-SOT patients. Although not statistically significant, SOT patients demonstrated more acute complications and readmissions, but similar mortality compared to those without transplant.

Mortality and functional consequences after revision osteosynthesis for peritrochanteric fractures treated by intramedullary nail: A retrospective study of 312 patients. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 108:103325. [PMID: 35589084 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2022.103325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteosynthesis of peritrochanteric fractures by intramedullary nail is associated with a 3 to 15% rate of complications requiring revision surgery. The objective of our study was to compare mortality and autonomy between patients who required revision surgery after osteosynthesis, and patients without revision surgery. HYPOTHESES Patients who underwent revision surgery after osteosynthesis of a peritrochanteric fracture by intramedullary nail did not exhibit excess mortality or loss of autonomy compared to those who did not undergo revision surgery. METHODS Between January 2017 and October 2019, 312 consecutive patients were operated on for a peritrochanteric fracture by intramedullary nail. Among them, 23 patients (7.4%) required revision surgery (change, nail removal, total hip arthroplasty). Mortality at 90 days and at one year was evaluated and compared between the group of "revision" patients and "no revision" patients. The level of autonomy was assessed by the Parker and Palmer score, one year postoperatively and compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The patients requiring revision surgery were younger: 73 years old vs. 86 years old (p<0.011). The overall mortality was 7.25% at 90 days after surgery and 15% at one year. Mortality was zero at 90 days, and at 1 year, postoperatively for patients requiring revision surgery. There was no significant difference for the mortality at 90 days (p=0.39) between the 2 groups, however at 1 year, it was significantly less for the revision patients (0% vs. 17%, p=0.032). There was no significant difference for the Parker score between the "revision" group; 5 (4-9) and the "no revision" group; 4 (3-7), at one year postoperatively (p=0.24). CONCLUSION This study did not show any excess mortality, nor loss of autonomy at 1 year postoperatively, for patients who required osteosynthesis for a trochanteric fracture, and who presented with a complication requiring revision surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, comparative retrospective study.

Abstract
Objective To compare and analyze the clinical efficacy of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) and percutaneous compression plate (PCCP) for minimally invasive treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures. Methods A retrospective analysis of 98 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 was used as the research object, and they were divided into PFNA group and PCCP group according to different treatment methods, with 51 cases and 47 cases. The intraoperative and postoperative indicators were compared between the two groups of patients. Results There was no significant difference in the operative time, postoperative fracture healing time, and Harris score of hip joint function between the two groups (t = -1.43, 1.86, 1.63; P > 0.05). Compared with the PFNA group, the intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage volume in the PCCP group were lower than those in the PFNA group (t = 11.38, 9.66; P < 0.05). Compared with the PFNA group, the time of weight-bearing in the PCCP group was longer than that in the PFNA group (t = -2.23, P < 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications was 7.84% in the PFNA group and 10.64% in the PCCP group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion The PFNA and PCCP are both effective measures for the clinical treatment of intertrochanteric fractures, and internal fixation should be reasonably selected according to the specific conditions of the patients.

Quality of fracture reduction is associated with patient survival at one year, but not 30 days, following trochanteric hip fracture fixation. A retrospective cohort study. Injury 2022; 53:1160-1163.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Few studies have been performed to evaluate the association between technical surgical factors and patient outcomes following hip fracture surgery. We performed a retrospective cohort study of elderly patients who had undergone fixation of trochanteric hip fractures using a sliding hip screw (SHS), with the aim of establishing whether there was a correlation between quality of fracture reduction and mortality at 30 days and one year. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was designed. Inclusion criteria were trochanteric (AO 31A1 or 31A2) fractures in patients aged ≥ 65 years, presenting <3 days after injury and fixed using an SHS. Fracture reduction was classified using the Baumgaertner Reduction Quality Criteria (BRQC). A validated predictor of mortality following hip fracture was used to stratify for confounding variables that might affect mortality. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between fracture reduction and mortality. RESULTS 329 patients were identified (mean age 86, 27% male). 57% had a good reduction, 39% had a fair reduction and 4% had a poor reduction. As reduction grade deteriorated, predicted mortality increased (good reduction: 7.3%; fair reduction: 8.4%; poor reduction: 15.5%). Without adjustment for predicted mortality, there was a significant correlation between decreasing reduction grade and mortality at both time points (30-day: odds ratio 1.95, p = 0.049; one year: odds ratio 1.86, p = 0.003). When adjusted for predicted mortality, only one year mortality remained significant (30 day: odds ratio 1.61, p = 0.173; one year: odds ratio 1.62, p = 0.037). CONCLUSION Some, but not all, of the association between fracture reduction and mortality can be explained by predetermined predictors of a poor outcome. There remains, however, a correlation between poor fracture reduction and mortality at one year. Every effort must be made to achieve an anatomical reduction for these injuries, and trainees must be instructed in methods to achieve this.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate 30-60-90-day mortality of operated proximal femur fractures (PFFs) suffering from COVID-19 and correlation with patients' clinical presentation and comorbidities. METHODS Between February 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020, patients with COVID-19 infection and surgically treated PFF were included. Patients' demographic characteristics, oxygen (O2) therapy, comorbidities, and AO type fracture were collected. Chi-square test or Fisher test and hazard ratio were used to assessing the correlation between mortality rate, patient characteristics, and COVID-19 status. Kaplan-Meyer curve was used to analyze 30-60-90-day mortality. Level of significance was set as p < 0.05. RESULTS Fifty-six patients (mean age of 82.7 ± 8.85 years) were included. Thirty-day mortality rate was 5%, which increased to 21% at 60 days and 90 days. Eleven patients died, eight due to AO type A-like and three due to AO type B-like fractures. No significant difference in mortality rate between patients with cardiopulmonary comorbidity or no cardiopulmonary comorbidity was found (p = 0.67); a significant difference in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or history of pulmonary embolism (PE) and patients without COPD was found (p = 0.0021). A significant difference between asymptomatic/mild symptomatic COVID-19 status and symptomatic COVID-19 status was found (p = 0.0415); a significant difference was found for O2 therapy with < 4 L/min and O2 therapy ≥ 4 L/min (p = 0.0049). CONCLUSION Thirty-day mortality rate of COVID-19 infection and PFFs does not differ from mortality rate of non-COVID-19 PFFs. However, patients with pre-existing comorbidities and symptomatic COVID-19 infection requiring a high volume of O2 therapy have a higher incidence of 60-90-day mortality when surgically treated.

MEDICINA-LITHUANIA 2021; 57:medicina57080763. [PMID: 34440969 PMCID: PMC8400749 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57080763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Intertrochanteric femur fractures are common in older patients and often have a significant impact on disability. The treatment aims to achieve a rapid return to the prior functional level with a low rate of complications and mortality. Surgical management by internal fixation is the mainstay of treatment for most of these fractures. Even when treated with intramedullary nails, the overall complication rates are high, especially for unstable or highly comminuted fractures or in the presence of poor bone quality. Hip arthroplasty is an alternative in older patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures at high risk of fixation failure or with concomitant intraarticular pathologies. Especially patients whose condition precludes prolonged bedrest and who are at risk of significant deterioration if their locomotor function cannot be restored rapidly are likely to benefit from hip arthroplasty. The choice of the surgical technique mainly depends on the surgeon’s preferences and the fracture characteristics. Bipolar hemiarthroplasty is the most common type of prosthesis used with primary or revision femoral stems. Compared with intramedullary nails, hip arthroplasty has a better early functional outcome and lower rates of surgical complications as well as reoperations. However, the functional outcome and the mortality rate in the longer term tend to favor intramedullary nails, even though the results are inconsistent, and a statistically significant difference cannot always be obtained. Currently, there are no guidelines that define the role of hip arthroplasty in the treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures in older patients. The literature only offers an overview of the possibilities of the usage of hip arthroplasty, but methodological limitations are common, and evidence levels are low. Further studies are needed to identify the intertrochanteric fractures that are at high risk of internal fixation failure, the characteristics that determine which patients may benefit most from hip arthroplasty, and the optimal surgical technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral neck fractures in elderly patients typically warrant operative treatment and are related to high risks of mortality and morbidity. As early hip arthroplasties for elderly femoral neck fractures are widely accepted, rapid predicting models that allowed quantitative and individualized prognosis assessments are strongly needed as references for orthopedic surgeons during preoperative conversations. METHODS Data of patients aged ≥ 65 years old who underwent primary unilateral hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty due to femoral neck fracture between January 1st, 2012 and June 30th, 2019 in our center were collected. Candidate variables included demographic data, comorbidities, and routine preoperative screening tests. The main outcomes included 1-year mortality and free walking rate after hip arthroplasty. Patients were randomly divided into derivation and validation groups in the ratio of three to one. Nomograms were developed based on multivariable logistic regressions of derivation group via R language. One thousand bootstraps were used for internal validation. Those models were further tested in the validation group for external validation. RESULTS The final analysis was performed on 702 patients after exclusion and follow-up. All-cause 1-year mortality of the entire data set was 23.4%, while the free walking rate was 57.3%. Preoperative walking ability showed the biggest impact on predicting 1-year mortality and walking ability. Static nomograms were created from the final multivariable models, which allowed simplified graphical computations for the risks of 1-year mortality and walking ability in a certain patient. The bias-corrected C index of those nomograms for predicting 1-year mortality in the derivation group and the validation group were 0.789 and 0.768, while they were 0.807 and 0.759 for predicting postoperative walking ability. The AUC of the mortality and walking ability predicting models were 0.791 and 0.818, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our models enabled rapid preoperative 1-year mortality and walking ability predictions in Asian elderly femoral neck fracture patients who planned for hip arthroplasty, with adequate predictive discrimination and calibration. Those rapid assessment models could help surgeons in making more reasonable clinical decisions and subsequently reducing the risk of potential medical dispute via quantitative and individualized prognosis assessments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hemiarthroplasty is commonly used to treat unstable femoral neck fractures in older patients. However, there is no consensus on the use of cement during hemiarthroplasty. Therefore, we performed a systematic review to focus on the outcomes of cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures in older patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pubmed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Ovid were searched for studies related comparison of cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty for unstable femoral neck fractures from inception to Jan 20, 2020. The quality of the included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. The meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.2 software. RESULTS Eleven RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. Cemented hemiarthroplasty was found to be superior to uncemented arthroplasty with respect to reoperation rate (RR 0.6, 95% CI 0.38-0.96, p = 0.03), complications related to prosthesis (RR 0.39, 95% CI 0.23-0.68, p = 0.0008), residual pain (RR 0.66, 95% CI 0.52-0.83, p = 0.0004), and operation time (MD 8.22, 95% CI 6.30-10.14, p < 0.00001). There were no significant between-group differences with respect to local and general complications, duration of hospital stay, hip function, and mortality. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis showed cemented hemiarthroplasty might be an optimum choice for treating unstable femoral neck fractures in older patients. However, the results of this meta-analysis should be interpreted cautiously owing to some limitations. Further studies are required to provide more robust evidence.

Abstract
Background Most unstable trochanteric fractures are treated with internal fixation and often with high complication rates. Hemiarthroplasty might be an alternative method in difficult condition, especially in unstable comminuted fracture in fragile bone. However, few have investigated the long-term outcomes after hemiarthroplasty for unstable trochanteric fracture. We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study of trochanteric fracture after primary hemiarthroplasty using competing risk analysis on their long-term outcomes, including mortality, readmission and reoperation. Methods We studied a total of 2798 patients over 60 years old, with a mean age of 79 years, of which 68% are females and 67.23% have at least one comorbidity. They underwent a hemiarthroplasty for unstable trochanteric fracture during the period between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2010 and were follow-up until the end of 2012, or death. Survival analysis and Cox model were used to characterize mortality. Competing risk analysis and Fine and Gray model were used to estimate the cumulative incidences of the first readmission and the first reoperation. Results The follow-up mortality rate for 1-year was 17.94%; 2-year, 29.76%; 5-year, 56.8%; and 10-year, 83.38%. The cumulative incidence of the first readmission was 16.4% for 1-year and 22.44% for 3-year. The cumulative incidence of the first reoperation was 13.87% for 1-year, 18.11% for 2-year, 25.79% for 5-year, and 38.24% for 10-year. Male gender, older age, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and lower insured amount were all risk factors for the overall mortality. Older age and higher CCI were risk factors for the first readmission. Older age was a protective factor for reoperation, which is likely due to the competing death. Conclusions The mortality and revision rates after hemiarthroplasty for unstable trochanteric fracture are acceptable as a salvage procedure for this fragile sub-population.

Orthop Surg 2020; 12:1053-1064. [PMID: 32691520 PMCID: PMC7454150 DOI: 10.1111/os.12736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Revised: 05/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of internal fixation versus hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. METHODS A search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases up to April 2020. The present study compared internal fixation and hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. RevMan5.3 software provided by the International Cochrane Group was used for the meta-analysis. To compare the differences in the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, length of hospital stay, superficial infection, Harris hip score, mortality within 1 year, mortality within 2 years, reoperation, incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), partial weight-bearing time, non-union, and implant-related complications between an internal fixation group and an hemiarthroplasty group. RESULTS A total of 1300 patients were included in nine studies. The results showed that the operation time (MD = -18.09, 95% CI: -27.85--8.34, P = 0.0003), intraoperative bleeding (MD = -195.31, 95% CI: -244.8--147.74, P < 0.0001), implant-related complications (MD = 3.83, 95% CI: 1.74-8.45, P = 0.0008), and partial weight-bearing time (MD = 17.21, 95% CI: 1.63-32.79, P = 0.03) have statistical significance. However, there is not statistical significance for the Harris hip joint function scale (HHS) (MD = 5.60, 95% CI: -1.13-12.33, P = 0.10), DVT (MD = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.45-2.27, P = 0.97), length of hospital stay (MD = -1.08, 95% CI: -2.82-0.66, P = 0.22), superficial Infection (OR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.43-1.98, P = 0.89), mortality within 1 year (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.61-1.48, P = 0.81), mortality within 2 years (OR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.61-1.43, P = 0.75), reoperation (MD = 1.80, 95% CI: 0.64-5.04, P = 0.26), and non-union (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 0.48-3.03, P = 0.70). The result of the subgroup analysis showed no significant differences between the less than 2 years follow-up and the 2 years or more follow-up group. The only difference was for the Harris hip score: the internal fixation group was superior to the hemiarthroplasty group in the less than 2 years subgroup analysis, while there was no difference between the internal fixation group hemiarthroplasty group in the 2 years or more subgroup analysis. CONCLUSION Compared with the internal fixation group, those in the hemiarthroplasty group could carry out weight-bearing training early and implant-related complications were reduced, but it requires longer operation time and there is greater intraoperative blood loss. There is no difference in mortality, the incidence of DVT, non-union, HHS, reoperation, length of hospital stay, and superficial infection. Hemiarthroplasty may be a better choice for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.
