This narrative review draws together all literature pertaining to anticoagulation and antiplatelet management in older patients with a fracture of the femur to address 5 key points: prevalence of anticoagulant and antiplatelet use; analysis of management protocols; collation of national guidelines; comparison of perioperative management; timing of surgery and perioperative outcomes.Our review found that the prevalence of fragility femur fracture patients taking anticoagulant and antiplatelet medication ranges from 20-40% and 25-35% respectively. More anticoagulated patients are taking direct oral anticoagulants compared to vitamin k antagonists with growing implications for variation in practice and delays to surgery.Several national guidelines exist although these are characterised by marked variation, there is little standardisation, and none are generalised across all fragility femur fractures.Expedited surgery within 36 hours of admission in patients taking an anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication is safe and has been demonstrated in fractures of the proximal femur across many small number studies although no such evidence exists in non-proximal femur fractures despite this population sharing similar characteristics.

Cement, allograft, reconstruction rings and porous trabecular metal now provide versatile options for acetabular fixation and restoration of acetabular offset. We compare acetabular impaction bone grafting (AIBG) and trabecular metal (TM) cups at long-term follow-up.Methods:53 patients who underwent revision hip arthroplasty were retrospectively reviewed from local joint registry data. 36 patients were revised using AIBG and 17 with TM. Median clinical follow-up was 9.57 (2.46–18.72) years and 9.65 (7.22–12.46) years, respectively. 82% of the TM group and 63% of the AIBG group were ⩾ Paprosky 2C. Re-revision was considered failure.

However, different anatomical variations, degenerative changes, dysplasia, and other diseases make it difficult. In this study, we discuss a method based on the three-dimensional direction of the transverse ligament, predicting native acetabular anteversion with higher accuracy.Methods:Angular positions of the acetabulum and direction of the transverse ligament were automatically calculated from routine computed tomography data of 270 patients using a registration algorithm. The relationship between acetabular angles and ligament direction and their relationship with sex, age, and pelvic tilt were sought. These relationships were then modelled using multilinear regression.Results:Including the direction of the transverse ligament in the sagittal and transverse planes as a regressor in the multilinear model explained the variation in acetabular anteversion (R<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> = 0.76 for men, R<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> = 0.63 for women; standard deviation in prediction: men, 3.92° and women, 4.00°).Conclusions:The results indicate that the ligament was suitable as a guidance structure almost insensitive to the ligament in the sagittal and transverse planes must be considered.
