Filter by:The effect of preoperative subcutaneous trochanteric fat thickness and trochanteric soft tissue thickness on postoperative infection risk in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture
Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) following hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures are a catastrophic complication that results in severe worsening of patients' daily function and quality of life. The incidence of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture varies from 2% to 17%. Identifying risk factors associated with early infection following HA for hip fractures may provide an opportunity to treat and prevent this potential complication with preoperative planning in many patients. So investigators will study the rate of early infection and its associated factor after bipolar hemiarthroplasty.
The goal of this Randomized controlled trial is to evaluate in household ambulatory, elderly patients sustaining femoral neck fracture who are subjected to be treat with cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The efficacy in reducing blood transfusion for topical tranexamic acid administration - The safety of tranexemic acid, topically used As having undergone bipolar hemiarthroplasty surgery, participants will either receive retrograde intraarticular tranexamic acid injection via drain tube, or topical soaking administration. Researchers will compare, with standard procedure (procedure), whether topically administered tranexamic acid would reduce rate of blood transfusion.
Find the best way for fixation of fracture neck of femur in children either by cannulated screws or wagner's technique
Femoral fracture surgery is frequently performed especially in geriatric population. Compared to general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia is preferred to general anaesthesia in the geriatric patient population due to lower postoperative pulmonary complications, reduced frequency of delirium and analgesic requirement, intraoperative haemodynamic stability, early postoperative mobilisation and early discharge. Central and peripheral regional anaesthesia methods have advantages and disadvantages. This situation causes difficulties in the choice of anaesthesia method. Central regional anaesthesia techniques have more haemodynamic effects and higher frequency of complications compared to peripheral methods. The disadvantages of peripheral methods are that they require ultrasound, block needle, nerve stimulator and require knowledgeable and skilled practitioners. Since there is no study showing the comparison of peripheral nerve blocks and hypobaric spinal anaesthesia with objective nociception values and there are difficulties in the choice of anaesthesia method in this regard, a study was deemed necessary.
Fracture neck femur are common injuries, especially seen in the elderly in the emergency setting. It is also seen in young patients with high-energy trauma. Immediate diagnosis and management are required to prevent threatening joint complications. Fracture neck femur in young adults is unsolved problem. The preservation of the native hip anatomy and biomechanics is essential in active young adults. Because of the vulnerable blood supply to the femoral part of the hip joint following these fractures, there is a high risk of developing avascular necrosis (AVN) and non-union. Any sort of surgical fixation should aim at preservation the blood supply while securing enough mechanical stability until the fracture unites. Open reduction is indicated in fractures which cannot be anatomically reduced by gentle manipulation. This should be carried out without any delay since this potentially can reduce the incidence of AVN. Treatment of fracture neck femur still controversial. There are several methods for treatment of fracture neck femur as multipe cannulated cancellous screws, locking plate, dynamic hip screw (DHS) with anti-rotational screw, and arthroplasty. There is no internal fixation method superior to another. In this study, we will compare the clinical and radiographic results of femoral neck locking plate vs multiple cannulated cancellous screw in treating femoral neck fractures in young adults.
The aim of this exploratory retrospective study is to gain a better understanding about the occurrence of acetabular erosion in patients after after hip hemiarthroplasty. The main objectives are i) to summarise a selection of basic patient characteristics of all patients of ≤ 75 years of age with a femoral neck fracture who have received either HA or THA, ii) to explore the proportion of patients after HA who developed acetabular erosion in the first years post-surgery and iii) to explore the proportion of patients after HA for whom acetabular erosion was the main reason for conversion surgery from HA to THA. A secondary objective is to assess the observer reliability of, and explore the association between, the Baker classification grading and Köhler line measurements. All participants approached for participation in the main phase of the study will be asked to give their written informed consent to use their patient data. Patients who are willing to participate will also be asked to complete a short paper survey to collect data that is not available from their health records.
The more effective use of ultrasound in regional anaesthesia techniques has made different block applications possible. Lumbar plexus block is also used for post-operative analgesia and surgical anaesthesia. Currently, in-plane ultrasound-guided LPB is widely used in short-axis imaging and Shamrock imaging.
