Abstract Aims This study assesses the effect of hip fracture anatomy and operation performed on transfusion rates within our centre. We aim to identify patients most likely require early, improve outcomes. Methods A retrospective cohort 324 consecutive presenting a district general hospital over one year. Data was collected from patient records, local laboratory national database. Results fract...

INTRODUCTION Stress fractures occur in individuals in whom repetitive strenuous muscle and tendon force act on bone; that have not adapted to such forces. Under a constant load, osteoclast resorption and osteoblastic reconstruction of bone are in equilibrium, resulting in normal remodeling. If loading increases, additional bone resorption occurs. Increased osteoclastic activity at sites of stre...

Intertrochanteric fractures are common injuries around the hip, especially among elderly. With rising incidence of these injuries, they expected to double by 2050. Incidence rates higher in females than males and white patients black African patients. Osteoporosis weakens local trochanteric anatomic support leading an increased susceptibility fractures. Disruption posteromedial calcar region re...

Background: The incidence of inter-trochanteric fractures the femur is very high in elderly population. world-wide all hip around 402 per 100000 and Intertrochanteric fracture estimated to be 171 2019. All operative conditions were different during covid phase. We needed early ambulation our patients for a faster recovery avoid long stay hospitals. Methods: 30 with unstable intertrochanteric op...

Hip fractures are a common injury among the elderly. Internal fixation with an intramedullary (IM) system has gained popularity for the treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures. Multiple complications associated with IM fracture fixation have been described, however, we report a rare complication of medial pelvic migration of the lag screw of a short IM nail in a stable construct ten week...

BACKGROUND The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the outcomes of proximal femoral nail (PFN) and dynamic hip screw (DHS) in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Relevant randomized or quasi-randomized controlled studies comparing the effects of PFN and DHS were searched for following the requirements of the Cochrane Library Handbook. Six eligible studies invol...

OBJECTIVES Nonagenarians with hip fractures represent a special group of people because of their advanced age and co-morbidities. We evaluated mortality after hip fractures in nonagenarians. METHODS Fifty-one patients were studied over a 2-year period. There were 39 female and 12 male patients. Twenty seven patients sustained an intertrochanteric fracture of the femur, 24 suffered from femora...

Purpose Bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA) is an option for the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients. There is a raising concern regarding cable-grip related complications for the fixation of trochanteric fragments. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate outcome of cementless HA with fixation for the trochanteric fragments using monofilament wires in unstabl...
