Objective To investigate the operative procedure and the therapeutic effects of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients with rebuild septum bronchiale in artificial femoral head replacement. Methods From October 2005 to October 2007, 113 elderly patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated with artificial femoral head replacement with fixation of femoral greater trochanter and smaller trochanter in the help of bone cement in 58 cases (test group) and with γ-type bone nail in 55 cases (control group). In test group, there were 21 males and 37 females with an average age of 75 years, including 10 cases of type IIIA, 16 cases of type IIIB and 32 cases of type IV according to Evans-Jenson standard. In control group, there were 17 males and 38 females with an average age of 72.5 years,including 13 cases of type IIIA, 14 cases of type IIIB and 28 cases of type IV according to Evans-Jenson standard. All fractures were caused by fall damage. The disease course was 3 hours to 7.5 days (mean 1.4 days). The patients of two group compl icated with osteoporosis, and compl icated by one or several compl ications of coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and chronic bronchitis. And all patients did not had fracture at other sites. There was no significant difference in general data between two groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The operations were successful, the incision healed by first intention. There were significant differences in operation time, operative blood loss and blood-transfusion between two groups (P lt; 0.05). The two group were followed 12-36 months. There were significant differences (P lt; 0.05) in the incidence rate of compl ication and the excellent and good rate of hip function (by Harris standard) between the test group (3.4% and 93.1%) and the control group (16.4% and 70.9%) 12 months after operation. Conclusion The aged patients with intertrochanteric fracture can get good result through caput femoris replacement, and rebuild septum bronchiale is of great significance.

Methods From January 2006 to December 2009, 23 cases of femoral neck fracture were operated by bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Among the patients, there were 8 males and 15 females, with their age ranged from 81 to 100 years old averaging at 87.5 years. Ten patients had left femoral neck fracture, and 13 had right femoral neck fracture. Twenty patients had the injury because of falling on the ground while walking, and 3 due to car accident. Based on Garden classification, there were 14 cases of type Ⅲ and 9 of type Ⅳ fractures. All fractures were fresh. The interval between the injury and operation was 3 to 12 days. Before operation, all patients had concomitant chronic diseases. Results All incisions healed in the first stage with 3 cases of lung infection and 1 case of deep venous thrombus, and without incision infection or prosthesis dislocation. One patient died of acute myocardial infarction 5 months after operation and the other one died of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage 1 year after operation. All the remaining 21 patients were followed up for 12 to 48 months averaging at 26 months. X-ray result showed a good location of the prosthesis. According to the Harris scoring system, the results were very good in 12 cases, good in 6 cases, fair in 2 cases and poor in 1 cases, with a total effective rate of 85.7％. Conclusions Bipolar hemiarthroplasty is an ideal method to treat femoral neck fracture in super-aged patients. It can shorten operation time, facilitate early movements of the hip joint, decrease complication rate due to lying in bed, and improve survival rate and quality of life.
ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA), locking compression plate (LCP), and artificial femoral head replacement for femoral intertrochanteric fracture in aged patients so as to provide reference for clinical treatment.MethodsA retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 150 aged patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture treated between September 2009 and March 2016. PFNA was used in 51 cases (group A), LCP in 53 cases (group B), and artificial femoral head replacement in 46 cases (group C). There was no significant difference in sex, age, side, cause of injury, injury to operation time, type of fracture, and combined medical diseases between groups (P>0.05). The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, time for full weight bearing, hip Harris score, and complications were recorded and compared between groups.ResultsThe patients were followed up 12-23 months (mean, 18.6 months) in group A, 12-25 months (mean, 19.0 months) in group B, and 12-24 months (mean, 18.9 months) in group C. The incision length, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss of group A were significantly less than those of groups B and C (P<0.05); the operation time of group C was significantly shorter than that of group B (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in incision length and intraoperative blood loss (P>0.05). The time for full weight bearing was significantly shorter in group C than groups A and B, and in group A than group B (P<0.05). Postoperative complications occurred in 11 patients of group A (21.6%), 14 patients of group B (26.4%), and 2 patients of group C (4.3%), showing significant difference between group C and group A or group B (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between groups A and B (P>0.05). Hip Harris score at 12 months after operation had no significant difference between groups (P>0.05).ConclusionPFNA, LCP, and artificial femoral head replacement are all effective methods to treat femoral intertrochanteric fracture in aged patients. PFNA has the advantages of small incision, short operation time, less bleeding and simple procedure, and artificial femoral head replacement has the advantages of early time for full weight bearing, less bed rest time, and less complications. For these patients, PFNA and artificial femoral head replacement are appropriate.
ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for postoperative mortality of the elderly patients with femoral neck fracture undergoing hemiarthroplasty.MethodsPatients who underwent hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures between January 2011 and December 2015 were enrolled as object. One hundred and nine patients who met the selection criteria were included in the study, and the clinical data were collected, including gender, age, time from admission to surgery, comorbidities, and preoperative hemoglobin level and nutritional status. Univariate analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression model were used to screen the risk factors for postoperative mortality.ResultsThe 1-year and 2-year mortalities were 6.4% (7/109) and 17.4% (19/109), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the age, preoperative hemoglobin level and nutritional status were the influencing factors of postoperative mortality in the elderly patients with femoral neck fractures treated with hemiarthroplasty (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the age≥80 years and malnutrition were the independent risk factors for postoperative mortality (P<0.05).ConclusionTo improve the clinical outcomes, perioperative risk should be comprehensively evaluated by multidisciplinary and perioperative management should be strengthened in the elderly patients with femoral neck fracture, especially those with advanced age and malnutrition, for the high postoperative mortality.
Objective To summarize the latest research progress of bone cement type femoral head replacement in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. Methods The literature on the application of bone cement type femoral head replacement for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients both domestically and internationally was reviewed, and the findings in aspects of selection of prosthesis types, proximal femoral reconstruction methods, postoperative complications, and rehabilitation were summarized and analyzed. Results The bone cement type femoral head replacement has shown significant effectiveness in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. The surgery provides immediate stability, allowing patients to quickly bear weight and regain walking function, thereby reducing the incidences of postoperative complications and mortality. However, due to the generally poor physical condition and low surgical tolerance of elderly patients, the risk of postoperative complications significantly increases, which has a significant impact on patients’ postoperative recovery. Common complications include deep vein thrombosis, bone cement implantation syndrome, joint dislocation, prosthesis loosening, and periprosthetic fractures. Therefore, despite the apparent short-term effectiveness of the surgery, it is crucial to emphasize the prevention and management of postoperative complications to improve the long-term prognosis of elderly patients. Conclusion For unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients, when choosing bone cement type femoral head replacement, it is necessary to strictly adhere to surgical indications, reduce the occurrence of complications, and improve the patients’ quality of life through refined preoperative evaluation, intraoperative operation, and effective postoperative management.
