Bipolar hip arthroplasty using conjoined tendon preserving posterior lateral approach in treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures

BACKGROUND Hip fractures account for 23.8%of all fractures in patients over the age of 75 years.More than half of these patients are older than 80 years.Bipolar hemiarthroplasty(BHA)was established as an effective management option for these patients.Various approaches can be used for the BHA procedure.However,there is a high risk of postoperative dislocation.The conjoined tendon-preserving posterior(CPP)lateral approach was introduced to reduce postoperative dislocation rates.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the CPP lateral approach for BHA in elderly patients.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed medical data from 80 patients with displaced femoral neck fractures who underwent BHA.The patients were followed up for at least 1 year.Among the 80 patients,57(71.3%)were female.The time to operation averaged 2.3 d(range:1-5 d).The mean age was 80.5 years(range:67-90 years),and the mean body mass index was 24.9 kg/m^(2)(range:17-36 kg/m^(2)).According to the Garden classification,42.5%of patients were typeⅢand 57.5%of patients were typeⅣ.Uncemented bipolar hip prostheses were used for all patients.Torn conjoined tendons,dislocations,and adverse complications during and after surgery were recorded.RESULTS The mean postoperative follow-up time was 15.3 months(range:12-18 months).The average surgery time was 52 min(range:40-70 min)with an average blood loss of 120 mL(range:80-320 mL).The transfusion rate was 10%(8 of 80 patients).The gemellus inferior was torn in 4 patients(5%),while it was difficult to identify in 2 patients(2.5%)during surgery.The posterior capsule was punctured by the fractured femoral neck in 3 patients,but the conjoined tendon and the piriformis tendon remained intact.No patients had stem varus greater than 3 degrees or femoral fracture.There were no patients with stem subsidence more than 5 mm at the last follow-up.No postoperative dislocations were observed throughout the follow-up period.No significance was found between preoperative and postoperative mean Health Service System scores(87.30±2.98 vs 86.10±6.10,t=1.89,P=0.063).CONCLUSION The CPP lateral approach can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative dislocation without increasing perioperative complications.For surgeons familiar with the posterior lateral approach,there is no need for additional surgical instruments,and it does not increase surgical difficulty.

基于Lasso回归的老年股骨颈骨折关节置换术后谵妄预测模型的构建

目的 分析老年股骨颈骨折关节置换术后谵妄的危险因素,并构建Nomogram预测模型。方法 回顾性分析2019年1月至2020年12月于烟台市烟台山医院接受关节置换术的195例65岁以上股骨颈骨折患者的临床资料。记录患者的一般基线资料、血常规检查、炎症相关指标、生化检查指标、凝血与D-二聚体指标及动脉血气分析指标。根据术后是否发生谵妄分为谵妄组与非谵妄组,计算谵妄发病率;利用最小绝对收缩选择算子(Lasso)回归和多因素Logistic回归分析术后谵妄的危险因素并建立Nomogram预测模型。结果 老年股骨颈骨折关节置换术后谵妄率为16.4%。LassoLogistic回归模型显示,性别[OR=0.16,95%CI(0.06,0.44)]、手术方式[OR=3.26,95%CI(1.02,10.37)]、白蛋白[OR=1.19,95%CI(1.03,1.38)]为术后谵妄的独立危险因素。预测模型的曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)为0.833,提示Nomogram预测模型有较好的预测能力、精准度。结论 性别、年龄、手术方式、白蛋白是术后谵妄独立风险因素。Nomogram预测模型能够方便地进行术后谵妄风险预测。
