Impact of femoral head size on the localization of proximal femur fractures: Retrospective analysis of 400 cases
Background
Proximal femur fractures are prevalent among the elderly, leading to high mortality, reduced quality of life, and significant healthcare burdens. The incidence is rising with demographic ageing, with osteoporotic fractures projected to reach 6 million annually by 2050, costing $25.4 billion. A 351 % increase in proximal femur fractures among individuals over 85 years is expected. Accurate fracture localization through imaging, combined with understanding femoral head size and patient-specific factors, improves preoperative planning and outcomes. This study explores the relationship between femoral head size and fracture localization.
Methods
A retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 400 patients with proximal femur fractures treated between 2010 and 2022. Fractures were classified as medial, lateral, pertrochanteric, or subtrochanteric. Radiographs measured femoral head morphology, and statistical analyses, including chi-square tests, t-tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression, identified predictors of fracture localization.
Results
Femoral head area (FHA) varied significantly across fracture types, with lateral fractures having the largest mean FHA (2355.95 mm2/cm2, p = 0.047). Osteoarthritis prevalence differed (p = 0.028), being highest in subtrochanteric fractures (17 %, Kellgren & Lawrence grade 3–4). Lateral fractures had a younger mean age of 71.05 years (p < 0.001), while pertrochanteric fractures averaged 79.52 years (p < 0.001). Vertical (p < 0.001) and horizontal (p = 0.028) femoral head diameters also differed significantly.
Conclusion
Larger femoral heads are associated with lateral fractures, whereas pertrochanteric fractures occur in older patients. Subtrochanteric fractures correlate with smaller femoral heads and advanced osteoarthritis.
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.
