Osteoporosis is a characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, with a consequent increase in bone fragility [1]. Bone strength impairment leads to an increased risk of fracture, as strenght reflects the integration of bone quantity (bone mineral density, BMD) and bone quality [2]. Common sites of osteoporotic fractures are spine, hip, distal forearm and proximal homerus....
BACKGROUND Fractures of the intertrochanteric hip are common and the treatment of unstable fractures generally requires an operative approach. In elderly patients, osteoporosis makes internal fixation problematic and frequently contributes to failed fixation and poor clinical results. We have attempted to apply the Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS) in reverse position for the repair of ...
Background. Our aim was to determine the incidence of hip fractures within two years after stroke, to identify associated factors, to evaluate which test instruments that best could identify people at risk, and to describe the circumstances that prevailed when they sustained their hip fractures. Method. A total of 377 persons with first-ever stroke were followed up for a 24-month period. Stroke...
OBJECTIVES Hospital discharge data (HDD) in many health systems do not capture the date of injury (DOI); the absence of this date hinders researchers' ability to distinguish repeat from incident injury admissions. Various approaches using somewhat arbitrary criteria have been explored to increase the accuracy of incident injury identification. However, these approaches have not been validated a...
Sir, The high mortality rate associated with hip fracture in the general population, as well as in the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population, is well described. However, the mortality associated with pelvis and lower limb fractures in ESRD patients remains unknown. We reviewed the medical records of all chronic haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis patients hospitalized at Maisonneuve-Rosemo...
Data on long-term consequences of non-hip non-vertebral (NHNV) fractures, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all fragility fractures, are scanty. Our study aimed to quantify the population-wide impact of NHNV fractures on mortality. The national population-based prospective cohort study (Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study) included 5526 community dwelling women and 2163 men aged 50...
Background: At present, there is no consensus on an appropriate treatment modality for intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly with background diseases. The aim of the present study was to compare treatment outcomes of intertrochanteric fractures reduced with dynamic hip screws (DHS) and bipolar hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with background medical conditions. Methods: In this randomi...
BACKGROUND Hip fractures are common injuries that result in blood loss and frequently require the transfusion of blood products. We sought to identify risk factors leading to increased blood transfusion in patients presenting with hip fractures, especially those factors that are modifiable. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the cases of all patients who had fixation of their hip fractures b...
INTRODUCTION Hip fractures, which are common among old patients, are classified into two groups: intracapsular and extracapsular fractures. Extracapsular fractures can be treated with extramedullary implants [e.g. dynamic hip screw (DHS)] or intramedullary nails. Dynamic hip screw is the treatment of choice in stable pertrochanteric fractures. Intrapelvic migration of the sliding screw is a ver...
