Femoral Neck Fracture

SAN DIEGO — Results showed white patients were more likely to undergo total hip arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture compared with historically underrepresented groups, who were more likely to undergo hemiarthroplasty.

Compared with a control, liposomal bupivacaine did not provide effective pain management for older patients who undergo hemiarthroplasty for an intracapsular femoral neck fracture, according to published results.

Among community-dwelling adults with dementia, surgical intervention of femoral head and neck fractures was associated with decreased mortality compared with nonsurgical treatment, according to published results.

Results from a randomized clinical trial showed no association between the surgical approaches for cemented hemiarthroplasty studied and 6-month patient-reported quality of life in patients treated for acute femoral neck fracture.

Published results showed no significant differences in overall rates of revision or Oxford hip scores between patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty with lateral, posterior or anterior approaches.

SAN FRANCISCO — Results showed patients older than 65 years with acetabular fractures had a higher rate of complications and readmissions after total hip arthroplasty compared with those who had femoral neck fractures.

SAN FRANCISCO — Results presented here showed the reoperation rate was almost twice as high in patients older than 65 years who underwent osteosynthesis for femoral neck fractures compared with those who had arthroplasty.

LAS VEGAS — Presented results showed mortality rates in older patients with femoral neck or intertrochanteric hip fractures decreased from 2010 to 2019.

Compared with patients who undergo hip hemiarthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture, patients who undergo total hip arthroplasty are at increased risk for hip dislocations at 30 days, 1 year and 2 years after surgery, according to a study.

According to published results, one in 10 patients aged 60 years or older who were treated with internal fixation for a nondisplaced femoral neck fracture underwent conversion to total hip arthroplasty within 5 years.
