Abstract
Background
The increasing number of hip arthroplasties (HA) worldwide, including hemi- and total hip arthroplasties, has led to a rise in periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFF). These fractures are technically complex, linked to high morbidity and mortality, and impose a burden on healthcare systems. However, clinical guidelines for managing PPFF are lacking, and data on factors affecting postoperative outcomes remain limited. This study aimed to identify risk factors for one-year mortality in surgically treated PPFF patients.
Methods
A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on patients with surgically treated PPFF. Data on patient-, implant-, fracture-, surgical- and perioperative characteristics were collected. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent predictors of one-year mortality.
Results
Among 157 patients (median age was 83 years, 59.2 % ASA III), the one-year overall mortality rate was 16.6 %. Multivariable analyses suggested that residency in a nursing home [OR 4.1 (95 %CI 1.20–14.25) p = 0.025], use of a walking aid [OR 3.6 (95 %CI 1.07–12.36) p = 0.039], initial uncemented stem fixation [OR 4.08 (95 %CI 1.25–13.35) p = 0.020], preoperative urinary bladder catheter (UBC) [OR 4.5 (95 %CI 1.33–15.25) p = 0.016] and lower Body Mass Index (BMI) (Kg/m2) [OR 0.87 (95 %CI 0.75–1.00) p = 0.049) were independently associated with one-year mortality.
Conclusion
PPFF patients are frail and highly comorbid. Risk factors such as low BMI, nursing home residency, walking aid use, uncemented stem fixation, and preoperative UBC highlight the need for targeted strategies to improve outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma (JCOT) aims to provide its readers with the latest clinical and basic research, and informed opinions that shape today''s orthopedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. JCOT publishes content of value to both general orthopedic practitioners and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment. We accept following types of articles: • Original articles focusing on current clinical issues. • Review articles with learning value for professionals as well as students. • Research articles providing the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases. • Regular columns by experts discussing issues affecting the field of orthopedics. • "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the general reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information. • Video of any orthopedic surgery which is innovative and adds to present concepts. • Articles emphasizing or demonstrating a new clinical sign in the art of patient examination is also considered for publication. Contributions from anywhere in the world are welcome and considered on their merits.
