Objective: In this retrospective study, it was aimed to compare mortality related risk factors and outcomes in patients who underwent proximal femoral nail and partial hip prosthesis for hip fracture.
Material and Method: In our study, a total of 618 patient files who underwent hip fracture operations, including partial hip replacement (n=350) and proximal femoral nail (n=268) were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, fracture side, cause, type of fracture, type of operation, blood transfusion, hospital stay, anesthesia type and one-year survival times of the patients were examined.
Results: Gender, age, side, mechanism, anesthesia, comorbid diseases, cause of mortality, one-year mortality and survival time differences between patient groups were not statistically significant (p>0.05). However, fracture type, blood transfusion and hospital stay differences between groups were statistically significant (p
Objective: We aimed to present our experience on arthroscopic management of tibial intercondylar eminence fracture in adolescent athletes. Methods: This was a case series of 9 adolescents (7 males, 2 females) aged 10-16 years diagnosed with tibial intercondylar eminence fracture following a sports activity. According to Meyers and McKeever classification, 4 patients had Type IIIA, 3 had Type IIIB, and 2 patients had Type II fracture. Following percutaneous arthroscopic reduction, the fragments of the fracture were fixed internally and anterior cruciate ligament was reconstructed through two 2.4 mm parallel tunnels at the level of anterior tibia by using fiber wire suture and U screws. Anterior tibial displacement was measured by KT-1000 knee arthrometer, and Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale was used for the patient-reported outcomes. Results: The duration of operation was 31.6±8.9 min. The patients were followed up for 37.1±19.1 months. Theanterior tibial displacement relative to the femur was 1.4±0.7 mm. TheLysholm score was 95.8±3.1. None of the patients developed infection. The complete fracture healing was obtained in all patients. Conclusion: Arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation by fiber wire suture and U screws provide perfect anatomic and functional outcome for displaced Type II and Type III tibial intercondylar eminence fracture in adolescent athletes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
