The Early Result of Cementless Arthroplasty for Femur Neck Fracture in Elderly Patients with Severe Osteoporosis
PURPOSE The purposes of the current study were to assess the early results of cementless hip arthroplasty (HA) for femoral neck fractures in elderly patients with severe osteoporosis and to compare the clinical outcomes between those who underwent total HA (THA) or bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA). MATERIALS AND METHODS From April 2011 to May 2012, we performed 87 cementless HAs for displaced f...
متن کاملEarly surgery for patients with a fracture of the hip decreases 30-day mortality.
There has been extensive discussion about the effect of delay to surgery on mortality in patients sustaining a fracture of the hip. Despite the low level of evidence provided by many studies, a consensus has been accepted that delay of > 48 hours is detrimental to survival. The aim of this prospective observational study was to determine if early surgery confers a survival benefit at 30 days. B...
متن کاملFunctional status and early surgery in elderly patients with hip fracture.
To the Editor—I read with interest the paper by Liu et al1 that focused on elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, showing that the longer the delay to surgery (>2 days), the higher the risk of death. Despite the potential limitations correctly identified by the authors, the introduction of the Key Performance Indicator in Hong Kong in 2008 undoubtedly led to an overall improved quali...
متن کاملIs Taking an Antiplatelet Agent a Contraindication for Early Surgery in Displaced Femur Neck Fracture?
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether we have to stop the antiplatelet agents prior to hemiarthroplasty surgery in patients with displaced femur neck fractures to reduce postoperative complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled forty-three patients with displaced femur neck fractures who were treated by bipolar hemiarthroplasty and were taking antiplatelet agents. Gro...
متن کاملPathological Fracture of the Proximal Femur in Osteosarcoma: Need for Early Radical Surgery?
Seventeen patients underwent treatment for a pathological fracture of the proximal femur due to osteosarcoma. Their age range was from 9 to 84 (mean age 42) with nine patients under the age of 40 and eight above the age of 40. Twelve patients had a fracture at diagnosis and five developed a fracture after the diagnosis. Seven patients had metastatic disease at diagnosis. Five patients were refe...
