Three-year follow-up mortality rate in Malta [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction: Primary osteoporosis is a major factor in fragility hip fractures. The index fracture is loaded with morbidity and increased mortality in these very fragile patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the mortality rate after 3 months, 1

Cement augmentation of the proximal femoral nail antirotation for the treatment of two intertrochanteric fractures - a comparative finite element study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background There are concerns regarding initial stability and cutout effect in proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) treating intertrochanteric fractures. No study have used finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the biomechanics.

Treatment Trade‐Offs and Choices for Femoral Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1298-1313, May 2025.
This review examines the trade‐offs between surgical intervention and traction therapy for adult and elderly patients with femoral fractures and surgical contraindications, particularly in resource‐limited settings. While intramedullary nailing may offer better clinical outcomes, traction therapy is often preferred due to limited surgical resources ...

Intertrochanteric Fracture of the Femur in an Ankylosed Hip: A Case Report [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia, 2019
Intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in ankylosed hips are extremely rare. The aims of the operative management for elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures are to prevent general complications, to maintain mobility, and to relieve pain. The

Development and Validation of Daping Orthopedics Operative Risk Scoring System for Geriatric Hip Fracture (DOORS‐GHF) for Predicting Postoperative Outcomes in Geriatric Hip Fracture Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Comparative Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
We developed and validated the DOORS‐GHF, a novel dedicated operative risk scoring system for geriatric hip fracture, which outperformed existing scores with superior predictive accuracy and clinical utility. ABSTRACT Objective With China's accelerating population aging, geriatric hip fractures pose a growing clinical challenge. High comorbidity burden

Persistent femoral neck non-union despite valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy: Relevance for secondary cam-type impingement

Trauma Case Reports, 2023
Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy is a well-established treatment in delayed union of femoral neck fractures as it converts shear forces into compression forces.

Postoperative Sleep Disturbance and Functional Recovery Following Hip Fracture Surgery: A 13‐Month Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Postoperative sleep disturbance is common after hip fracture surgery and gradually improves over 13 months. Better sleep quality is independently associated with improved functional recovery, highlighting sleep as a modifiable target for postoperative rehabilitation.
