Abstract
Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) after cephalomedullary nailing in elderly patients with pertrochanteric fractures and to analyze the risk factors related to ONFH.
Methods: A total of 689 consecutive patients with cephalomedullary nailing for pertrochanteric fractures at our hospital were recruited. Of these, 368 patients who met the inclusion criteria were finally enrolled. ONFH after cephalomedullary nailing was identified by reviewing patients' electronic charts and serial radiographs. The ONFH group was then compared with the non-ONFH group.
Results: ONFH was identified in 9 of 368 patients (2.4%). The time to diagnosis of ONFH averaged 23.8 months (range, 5-54 months) after index surgery. The mean age, body mass index, and bone mineral density (T-score in femur neck) were 84.1 ± 7.1 years, 23.7 ± 3.6 kg/m2, and -3.1 ± 0.7 kg/m2, respectively. The times from injury to surgery, from admission to surgery, and operation time averaged 4.2 ± 2.7 days, 3.6 ± 2.6 days, and 87.2 ± 30.0 minutes, respectively. Among 9 patients, 3 underwent conversion arthroplasty. The ONFH group had advanced age (p = 0.029), more basicervical fracture components (p = 0.002), and inadequate reduction (p = 0.045) compared to the non-ONFH group. On multivariate analysis, advanced age (odds ratio [OR], 1.61;, p = 0.022), basicervical fracture components (OR, 24.58; p = 0.001), and inadequate reduction (OR, 4.11; p = 0.039) were identified as risk factors of ONFH.
Conclusions: Although ONFH is relatively rare after cephalomedullary nailing for pertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients, its risk may increase with advanced age, basicervical fracture components, and inadequate reduction. Therefore, in patients with these risk factors, meticulous and longer follow-up is needed even after bone union.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
