Abstract
Background
Our study aims to report clinical outcomes of revision and ORIF for managing periprosthetic proximal femur fractures (PPFFs).
Materials & methods
We conducted a two-year retrospective analysis at a level 2 trauma centre, focusing on surgically managed PPFFs from primary and revised total hip and hemiarthroplasties. Primary outcomes were the one-year reoperation rate and mortality rate following revision or ORIF. We also specifically analysed B2 fracture management. Secondary outcomes were complication rates, time to surgery, length of hospital stay, transfusions and critical care requirements.
Results
67 patients were included, 44 (66 %) of whom were female. Mean age at operation was 83 years. Among them, 27 (40 %) had revision and 40 (60 %) had ORIF. One year reoperation rate was 11.11 % for revision and 7.50 % for ORIF. One year mortality rate was 25.93 % for revision and 10 % for ORIF. The overall complication rate was 29.63 % for revision and 7.50 % for ORIF. Time to surgery (89 and 77 h) and length of hospital stay (18 and 17 days) were similar in both groups.B2 fractures, which constituted 48 (71.64 %) of the cases, had a higher proportion of revision surgeries (27) compared to ORIF (21). For B2 fractures, revision was associated with higher reoperation and mortality rates as well as a significantly greater complication rate compared to ORIF.
Conclusion
PPFFs present a substantial healthcare challenge. Improving clinical outcomes for PPFF patients is crucial. This study highlights that ORIF may yield better outcomes for B2 fractures, when anatomical reduction is feasible. (249 words)
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.
