Age-related Comparison of Hip Joint Morphology in Isolated Femur Neck Fractures

Objective: Femoral neck fractures mostly occurs due to high-energy trauma in young population and management differs compared elderly. Different geometric parameters the hip joint can play a role fracture morphology regarding age. Present study aims compare between elderly Materials methods: 45 patients with isolated femoral included study. Patients were divided into two age; group 1 (younger than 60 yr.) 2 (older yr.). Garden Pauwels classifications, Sharp angle (acetabular index-AI), acetabular depth (AD), Hip-axis length (HLA), Neck-shaft (NSA), Center-edge (CE), Singh indexes femur head extrusion groups. Results: The mean age of (22 patients) was 48 ± 10.4 while (23 77 6.3. Significant differences found 3 parameters; HLA (13.4 1.4 cm vs 12 1.1 cm) (p: 0,034), (37.9° 5° 40.3° 3°) 0.047) CE (38.1° 6.2° 34.8° 4.5°) 0.48) respectively. No statistically significant difference terms AD, NSA, index index. Conclusions: Our shows influence proximal on may help future studies reveal relevance type.
