A Simple Classification System for Hip Fractures

Updated classification system for proximal humeral fractures.

Proximal humeral fractures can restrict daily activities and, therefore, deserve efficient diagnoses that minimize complications and sequels. For good diagnosis and treatment, patient characteristics, variability in the forms of the fractures presented, and the technical difficulties in achieving fair results with surgical treatment should all be taken into account. Current classification syste...

Assessment of outcome after hip fracture: development of a universal assessment system for hip fractures

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to refine current evaluation systems used to assess outcome after a hip fracture and to devise a simple and practical system to assess all hip fracture patients. METHODS Three continuous scales were defined for pain, mobility and functional independence. These were all found to have an acceptable degree of inter-observer agreement. The pre-fracture mobility...

Frequency of Delirium after Hip Fractures Surgery

Background and purpose: Delirium is a recurrent cognitive disorder which is one of the most common neurologic diagnosis in patients who have had pelvic surgeries. This complication occurs in a short time and early diagnosis results in early management. Current study was done to investigate the frequency of delirium and identifying the factors affecting its incidence in patients with pelvic surg...

The reliability and validity of the Unified Classification System of periprosthetic femoral fractures after hip arthroplasty.

The Unified Classification System has expanded and updated the Vancouver Classification System and applied treatment principles to all periprosthetic fractures. This study assessed the reliability and validity of the Unified Classification System for femur fractures after hip arthroplasty. Thirty-eight radiographs were finally evaluated by 6 observers, 3 consultants and 3 trainees. Each observe...
