Waiting for surgery after hip fracture—Health and/or economic risk?

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 57-85, January 2025.
Abstract Objectives Waiting for surgery is a disconcerting experience. It can have a negative impact on patients' outcomes and length of stay (LOS) as driver for treatment costs. Process‐optimisation may be a strategy to improve quality and cost‐efficacy.

Change in Femoral Offset after Closed Reduction and Dynamic Hip Screw Osteosynthesis Via Lateral Approach in Patients with Medial Femoral Neck Fracture: A Retrospective Analysis

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 3118-3128, December 2024.
One hundred and four patients with medial femoral neck fractures were retrospectively analyzed with regard to postoperative changes of the femoral offset (FO). Seventy‐five percent of the collective showed a decrease of FO and 25% an increase. Fifty‐three percent showed a critical change in FO (>15% referenced to the FO of the contralateral hip ...

Quantification of bone strength by intraoperative torque measurement: a technical note [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: Bone strength describes the resistance of bone against mechanical failure. Bone strength depends on both the amount of bone and the bone's quality, and the bone strength may be looked upon as a relevant parameter to judge an osteosynthesis'

Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) as an Independent Predictor of 3‐Year Postoperative Mortality in Elderly Patients with Hip Fracture: A Post hoc Analysis of a Prospective Cohort Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2761-2770, November 2024.
The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an objective and easy tool for nutritional assessment. Geriatric hip fracture patients with higher admission PNI values had significantly lower 3‐year mortality risk. An optimal PNI cutoff value for predicting mortality was set as 45.275.
