Prosthetic replacement in treatment of subcapital femoral neck fractures in the elderly

Objective: To compare the results of femoral head replacement (FHR) and total hip replacement (THR) in treatment of subcapital femoral neck fractures (SFNF). Methods: Between May 1987 and July 1998, 56 elderly patients (65-90 years; average 73.5 years) with SFNF were treated with prosthetic replacement. Six cases were treated with unipolar FHR, 18 cases with Bateman bipolar FHR, and 32 cases with Bateman bipolar THR. All domestic prostheses were installed with cement. Results: There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in operating time and blood transfusion. Forty-nine patients were followed-up for an average of 5 years and 10 months. No wound infection or death was related to surgery. Complications in Group FHR were significantly higher than that in Group THR. Conclusions: Since FHR is difficult to fit the bony acetabulum, it is only indicated for senile cases with poor conditions. However, the bipolar THR installed with cement is indicated for most elderly patients. Since the femoral head and acetabulum can fit each other completely, it is more stable for taking weight-bearing earlier with less complications.

Closed reduction and internal fixation versus total hip arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture

Objective： To compare the clinical effects between closed reduction and internal fixation （CRIF） and total hip arthroplasty （THA） for displaced femoral neck fracture. Methods： In this prospective randomized study, 285 patients aged above 65 years with hip fractures （Garden III or IV） were included from January 2001 to December 2005. The cases were randomly allocated to either the CRIF group or THA group. Patients with pathological fractures （bone tumors or metabolic bone disease）, preoperative avascular necrosis of the femoral head, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hemiplegia, long-term bed rest and complications affecting hip functions were excluded. Results： During the had significantly higher 5-year follow-up, CRIF group rates of complication in hipjoint, general complication and reoperation than THA group （38.3% vs. 12.7%, P〈0.01; 45.3% vs. 21.7%, P〈0.01; 33.6% vs. 10.2%, P〈0.05 respectively）. There was no difference in mortality between the two groups. Postoperative function of the hip joint in THA group recovered favorably with higher Harris scores. Conclusion： For displaced fractures of the femoral neck in elderly patients, THA can achieve a lower rate of complication and reoperation, as well as better postoperative recovery of hip joint function compared with CRIF.

Influences of head/neck ratio and femoral antetorsion on the safe-zone of operative acetabular orientations in total hip arthroplasty

Objective： To study the influences of head/neck ratio and femoral antetorsion on the safe-zone of operative acetabular orientations, which meets the criteria for desired range of motion （ROM） for activities of daily living in total hip arthroplasty （THA）. Methods： A three-dimensional generic, parametric and kinematic simulation module of THA was developed to analyze the cup safe-zone and the optimum combination of cup and neck antetorsion. A ROM of flexion ≥ 120°, internal rotation ≥ 45° at 90° flexion, extension ≥ 30° and external rotation ≥ 40° was defined as the criteria for desired ROM for activities of daily living. The cup safe-zone was defined as the area that fulfills all the criteria of desired ROM before the neck impinged on the liner of the cup. For a fixed stemneck （CCD）-angle of 130°, theoretical safe-zones fulfilling the desired ROM were investigated at different general headneck ratios （GR=2, 2.17, 2.37, 2.61 and 2.92） and femoral anteversions （FA=0°, 10°, 20° and 30°）. Results： Large GRs greatly increased the size of safezones and when the CCD-angle was 130°, a GR〉2.37 could further increase the size of safe-zones. There was a complexinterplay between the orientation angles of the femoral and acetabular components. When the CCD-angle was 130°, the optimum relationship between operative acetabular anteversion （OA） and femoral antetorsion （FA） could be estimated by the formula： OA=-0.80×FA＋47.06, and the minimum allowable operative acetabular inclination （OImin） would be more than 2 10.5 ×GR^-2255. Conclusions： Large GRs greatly increase the size of safe-zones and it is recommended that the GR be more than 2.37 so as to extend the acceptable range of error that surgeons cannot avoid completely during operation. As to the optimum operative acetabular inclination （OI）, surgeons need to make a decision combining with other factors, including stress distribution, soft tissue and cup wear conditions, as well as patients＇ individual situations and demands. The data obtained from this study and the module of THA can be used to assist surgeons to choose and implant appropriate implants.

Case report： A 10 years follow-up of periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip arthroplasty in osteopetrosis

Osteopetrosis is an inherited disorder characterized by increased bone density and brittle bone quality. Degenerative changes often occur after the age of 40 in patients with osteopetrosis. Operative inter- vention is the primary treatment option if the clinical manifestation of secondary osteoarthritis is severe. A 44-year-old male suffering autosomal dominant osteopetrosis and progressive unilateral hip osteo- arthritis required a total hip arthroplasty. However, there were several technical challenges associated with this procedure including creating a femoral medullary canal and developing a Vancouver type B2 periprosthetic femoral fracture postoperatively. To afford some experience for the management of similar cases, we here present our technical solutions to these problems.

Meta-analysis comparing total hip arthroplasty with hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in patients over 70 years old

Objective： Total hip arthroplasty （THA） and hemiarthroplasty （HA） are effective methods currently used to treat femoral neck fracture in elderly patients, but the two options remain controversial in patients over 70 years old. The main purpose of our study was to determine whether THA or HA is a superior treatment of femoral fractures involving a displaced neck in patients who are over 70 years of age. Methods： A computer-based online search of Medline （1970-2011）, PubMed （1977-2011）, and the Cochrane Cen- tral Register of Controlled Trials （2002-201 l） was conducted. Six relevant randomized controlled trials with a total of 739 patients were included for the final analysis. The analysis was performed with software RevMan 5.0. Results： We found that compared with THA, HA needed shorter average time and lost less blood. While over the long-term follow-up, THA patients exhibited significantly less pain and better function and were less likely to require a revision hip surgery. Postoperative infection was equally common among HA and THA patients. Conclusions： The significant differences in outcomes suggest that THA is a valuable treatment option for active elderly hip fracture individuals. However, patients who are older, impaired or institutionalized benefit from HA.
