Hip Fractures
New England Journal of Medicine (364)18 2011
Abstract
We reviewed radiographs of 1234 of the 1271 women who had a subtrochanteric or shaft fracture and identified 59 patients with atypical fractures. Data on medications and coexisting conditions were obtained from national registries. The relative and absolute risk of atypical fractures associated with...

Abstract
Hip fractures associated with underlying osteoporosis result in significant morbidity and mortality in elderly patients and increase the risk for future fractures. Several underlying modifiable contributors may be identified, while osteoporosis itself is amenable to a number of effective treatments....

Abstract
We identified 716 women who sustained a subtrochanteric or femoral shaft fracture following initiation of bisphosphonate therapy and 9723 women who sustained a typical osteoporotic fracture of the intertrochanteric region or femoral neck. Compared with transient bisphosphonate use, treatment for 5 y...

Abstract
We investigated 164 of 180 women with hip fracture admitted consecutively to a rehabilitation hospital. Lateral radiographs of the spine were taken 20.0 ± 5.1 days (mean ± SD) after fracture occurrence. To obtain a summary measure of vertebral fracture burden, we calculated the spinal deformity in...

We included patients (aged 16 years or older) with Injury Severity Score value ≥ 9 who were admitted to Level I and II TCs. To ensure data quality, we limited the study to TC that routinely reported comorbidities and Abbreviated Injury Scale codes. IHF were defined as patients, aged 65 years or ol...

Abstract
Whole cereal grain foods are rich in phytate, a Ca chelator, and could increase the risk of hip fracture. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between baseline whole grain intake and incident hip fracture. In the present study, 29 192 women who at baseline in 1986 we...

Abstract
In independent studies delirium was associated with higher levels of cortisol, interleukin(IL)s, and S100B. The aim of this study was to simultaneously compare cortisol, IL-6, IL-8, and S100B levels in patients aged 65years and older admitted for hip fracture surgery with and without delirium. Corti...

In-hospital mortality is a common criterion for evaluating the quality of medical care provided for inpatients. Besides general concerns, the call for a defined follow-up-period is the subject to be discussed. A project - abbreviated as QSR - covering insured from local health insurance funds now pr...

Modular necks are a relatively new innovation in total hip arthroplasty (THA), with several companies now offering modular neck options. The proposed advantages of reduced impingement, reduced dislocation rate, and better reconstitution of leg length and offset are compelling. However, few reports i...

Abstract
Use of drugs that inhibit gastric acid is associated with an increased risk of hip fracture; however, this association was only found among persons with at least one other risk factor for hip fracture. Acid inhibition might therefore be associated with fracture risk in persons already at risk for os...

Abstract
Sixteen hips (53.3%) showed evidence of osteonecrosis, and 14 (46.7%) showed evidence of subchondral insufficiency fracture, which was consistent with the corresponding histopathologic diagnoses. In all cases of osteonecrosis, the patient had a history of either corticosteroid intake or alcohol abus...

Intensive geriatric intervention reduced the 30-day mortality (odds ratio (OR) = 0.08; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.01; 0.52) and reduced 3-month mortality (OR = 0.03; 95% CI: 0.003; 0.25). Fluid therapy and nutritional support were associated with reduced probability of death (OR = 0.12; 95% CI:...

Abstract
These results suggest that the original TUG manual, described as 1 practice trial followed by 1 timed trial, needs modification when used in patients with hip fracture who are allowed FWB. The best (fastest) of 3 timed TUG trials performed with a standardized walking aid is recommended.

This study shows that axial failure loads of the crossed-screw configuration were greater than those of the parallel screw configuration. Clinically, this provides the surgeon more options for stabilizing a subtrochanteric femur fracture. This decision may be made intra-operatively if necessary, fac...

Abstract
The occurrence of fracture of the subtrochanteric or diaphyseal femur was very rare, even among women who had been treated with bisphosphonates for as long as 10 years. There was no significant increase in risk associated with bisphosphonate use, but the study was underpowered for definitive conclus...

We studied single-nucleotide polymorphisms present in the major genes in the PTH pathway (PTH, PTHrP, PTHR1, PTHR2) in relation to bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture incidence. We found that haplotypes of the PTH gene were associated with fracture risk independent of BMD. In the present study,...
