Introduction Geriatric hip fracture patients are characterized by frailty due to multiple comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, in which the use of antithrombotics is frequent. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of antithrombotics on perioperative care and patient outcomes after hip hemiarthroplasty following current guidelines. Materials and Methods This observational cohort study included all consecutively admitted patients with a femoral neck fracture requiring hip hemiarthroplasty between January 1st 2010, and May 16th 2016, in two level II trauma teaching hospitals. Patients with multiple trauma injuries were excluded. Results In total, n = 907 patients (68% female (n = 615), median age 84 years) were included of which n = 142 used a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and n = 213 used antiplatelet (AP) therapy. Both were associated with more packed cell supplementation (.4 ± 1.1 units and .3 ± .8 units vs .2 ± .6 units, P < .001 and P = .03, respectively). VKA was associated with more hematomas compared no antithrombotics (23% vs 11%, P = .001). VKA had a longer time to surgery compared to no antithrombotics and AP (24 hours vs 19 and 20 hours, P < .001 and P < .001, respectively) and longer admission duration (9 days vs 7 days P < .001. There were no differences in 30 day mortality nor in 1-year mortality rates. Discussion All modifiable causes for deep SSI, such as hematomas, should be prevented in acute hip fracture surgery. Since antithrombotics are associated with hematomas, an optimal handling in perioperative setting is necessary. Conclusion VKA was associated with longer time to surgery, more hematomas, and longer admission duration. VKA and AP were associated with more packed cell supplementation.

The Impact

Background and Aims: Cardiovascular complications are common in hip fracture patients but the role of fracture type and operative method in these is unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the impact of fracture- and operative characteristics on perioperative cardiovascular complications and prognosis in unselected hip fracture patients. Material and Methods: During a 7-month trial registration period, a population of 197 consecutive hip fracture patients (median age 84 years) diagnosed with femoral neck or pertrochanteric fracture was formed. The exclusion criteria were patient refusal, subtrochanteric fracture, or death preoperatively. Pre- and postoperative troponin T (TnT) elevation, perioperative N-terminal fragment of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, perioperative cardiovascular adverse events, and all-cause 30-day and 2- and 5-year mortalities were studied. Results: Femoral neck fracture was independently associated with preoperative myocardial injury witnessed by TnT elevation (HR 2.95, 95% confidence interval 1.21–7.19, p = 0.018). The fracture type, surgery delay, or operative method were not significantly associated with NT-proBNP levels, cardiovascular adverse event diagnoses, or prognosis. Cardiovascular adverse events were clinically diagnosed in 28 (14%) participants, and these had a higher mortality compared to participants without such diagnosis (at 30 days, 32% vs 5%; 2 years, 71% vs 31%; and 5 years, 86% vs 59%; p < 0.001). Conclusion: While the femoral neck fracture independently predicts preoperative cardiovascular morbidity, the operative method does not affect perioperative cardiovascular complications or the prognosis, and it may be selected by the treating clinician based on other criteria.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The incidence of neck of femur fracture among elderly population is increasing day by day. Femoral neck fracture has always been an unsolved fracture<strong> </strong>as far as treatment and results are concerned. There are different views regarding the optimal method of internal fixation in femoral neck fractures. Biomechanical data from literature suggest that calcar fixation is superior to central screws placement. This study aims to analyse the functional and radiological outcome of femoral neck fractures treated by calcar buttressed screw fixation described by Filipov as biplane double supported screw fixation.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This is a prospective study conducted in our institution from May 2015 to May 2018.The study included 43 patients (31 male, 12 female) with femoral neck fracture. Three 6.5-mm cannulated screws were laid in two medially diverging oblique planes. The distal and the middle screws were supported on the calcar. The distal screw had additional support on the posterior neck cortex. Patients were followed up for average period of 2 years. Functional outcome was evaluated using Harris Hip score.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Bone union occurred in 40 patients (93%) with average period of 3-4 months.<strong> </strong>51.2% of cases had<strong> </strong>excellent outcome. 23.2% of cases had good and 16.3% of cases had fair outcome. 9.3% of cases ended with poor outcome. Non union was reported in 3 patients (7%) and AVN in one patient. Various factors like age, Garden and Pauwel fracture types, time of presentation and time of surgery were statistically significant to the final functional outcome in our study.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> By providing additional calcar buttress compared to conventional method, this technique of screw fixation enhances femoral neck fracture fixation strength and reduces the fixation failure. </p>

Abstract: Introduction: Although several national studies reported on the risk factors for contralateral hip fracture, there are no data about the prognostic factors of the time until contralateral hip fractures. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyse the impact of different prognostic factors on the time until the development of contralateral fracture and to determine the incidence of contralateral hip fractures after femoral neck fractures. Method: Patients aged 60 years and over with contralateral hip fracture between 01 Jan 2000 and 31 Dec 2008 were identified among those who suffered their femoral neck fracture in Hungary in 2000. Risk factors as age, sex, comorbidities, type of fracture and surgery, place of living and hospitals providing treatment for primary fracture were analysed by one way ANOVA focusing on the time until the development of contralateral hip fracture. Results: 312 patients met the inclusion criteria. The incidence of contralateral hip fracture after femoral neck fracture ranged between 1.5% and 2.1%, the cumulative incidence was 8.24%. The mean time until the development of contralateral hip fracture was 1159.8 days. The incidence of contralateral hip fracture showed no significant deviation. Significantly shorter time (p = 0.010) was detected until the contralateral hip fracture in older patients with femoral neck fracture. Conclusions: The yearly incidence of contralateral hip fracture showed no significant difference by patients with femoral neck fracture over 60 years. The shorter time until the contralateral hip fracture by the older age groups highlights the need of elaboration of prevention strategies. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(38): 1543–1547.
