Tibial shaft fractures are common injuries in emergency departments (EDs). Although many of these fractures require surgery, nearly all are stabilized in the ED with a long leg splint or bivalved cast. Long leg splinting is often challenging for a single health care provider. Further, even with assistance or previously described techniques for fracture reduction and stabilization, fracture angu...
It is well known that one fragility fracture begets another. Fracture Liaison Services have been shown to narrow the care gap that exists in the care of patients with fragility fractures. A secondary fracture prevention programme "OPTIMAL" (Osteoporosis Patient Targeted and Integrated Management for Active Living) has been in existence in the public restructured hospitals and polyclinics of Sin...
Little is known about hip fracture rates and post-fracture mortality among nursing home residents. This retrospective cohort study examined incidence rates (IR) of and mortality after hip fracture in this population focusing on sex differences. A cohort of >127,000 residents ≥65 years, newly admitted to German nursing homes between 2010 and 2014 were used to calculate age-, sex-, care-need- and...
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate an updated version of the QFracture algorithm for estimating the risk of a patient sustaining an osteoporotic fracture or hip fracture in a primary care population. DESIGN Prospective open cohort study using routinely collected data from 420 general practices in the United Kingdom to develop updated QFracture scores and 207 practices to validate scores. Cox's...
BACKGROUND Second hip fractures account for up to 15% of all hip fractures. We sought to determine if the proportion of hip fracture surgeries for second hip fracture changed over time in terms of patient and fracture characteristics. METHODS We reviewed the records of patients older than 60 years hospitalized for hip fracture surgery between 1990 and 2005 in British Columbia. We studied the ...
Management of geriatric hip fractures in a protocol-driven center can improve outcomes and reduce costs. Nonetheless, this approach has not spread as broadly as the effectiveness data would imply. One possible explanation is that operating such a center is not perceived as financially worthwhile. To assess the economic viability of dedicated hip fracture centers, the authors built a financial m...
AIM As it is unclear whether parathyroid hormone (PTH) measurements performed immediately after hip fracture are reliable indicators of pre-fracture metabolic status, we set out to define how PTH levels are affected by hip fracture and its surgical repair. METHOD In two longitudinal projects, we studied 12 patients presenting with hip fracture and eight patients undergoing elective hip replac...
fat embolisms in lower organ fractured patientsreferred to taleghani hospital of kermanshah (2003-4)
introduction: fat embolism is a rare but serious consequence of fracture which is also potentially fatal. it is caused by the occlusion of blood vessels by fat globules in the brain and lungs, causing bleeding into the alveoli and the disruption of oxygen transfer. clinical manifestations are: respiratory failure, loss of consciousness, fever, tachycardia and petchiae, all following the fractu...
AIM The aim of the study was to compare costs and consequences for an integrated care pathway intervention group with those of a usual care group for patients admitted with hip fracture. BACKGROUND Rehabilitation for patients with hip fracture consists of training in hospital and/or in a rehabilitation unit, and on their own at home with assistance from community care staff. It is important f...
OBJECTIVE to estimate femoral fracture rates in community-dwelling older people without care need (CCN(-)), in community-dwelling older people with care need (CCN(+)) and in residents of nursing homes (RNH) and to determine their contribution to the overall burden of femoral fractures. METHODS routine data of more than 1.2 million German people aged 65 years and more were used to calculate se...
