Outcome following proximal femoral fracture in the elderly female.
Outcome after proximal femoral fracture was assessed in 89 elderly females. Mortality both in hospital and subsequent to discharge was identified, with a mortality rate of 13.5% at 30 days and 35% after one year. The median length of stay was 28 days, with 40% of subjects transferred for geriatric-orthopaedic care. Delay prior to surgery and its relationship to increased mortality was highlight...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis for the Treatment of Proximal Femoral Fracture
Dynamic hip screw and gamma nail have been widely used to treat the patients with proximal femoral fractures, but clinical failures of those implants are still to be found. This study developed three-dimensional finite element models to investigate the biomechanical performances of the implants. Two kinds of commercially available implants (dynamic hip screw and gamma nail) and one newly design...
متن کاملAnticoagulation therapy and proximal femoral fracture treatment
Approximately 77 000 proximal hip fractures occur in the United Kingdom annually, accounting for 1.5 million beddays, at an inpatient cost of £2 billion.1,2 The majority of them (65 000) occur in England, with a median post-operative length of stay (LOS) of 23 days and a 30-day mortality of between approximately 8% and 10% which has remained constant for the last two decades.2 The majority (95%...
متن کاملPrognostic Factors Predicting Early Recovery of Pre-fracture Functional Mobility in Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic factors predicting the recovery of pre-fracture functional mobility, we evaluated this by the use of ambulatory assistive devices in short-term follow-up. METHODS Five hundred and fifty-three elderly patients who had undergone hip fracture operations from January 2006 to June 2013 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Clinical characteristics and p...
متن کاملProximal femoral fracture: achievements and prospects.
Patients with proximal femoral fracture occupy 20% of all orthopaedic beds at any one time [1]. In postmenopausal women, proximal femoral fracture accounts for more bed days annually than breast cancer, acute myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Most people with a proximal femoral fracture are old: 90% are older than 65 and 75% are older than 75. Mo...
