The changing face of fractures of the hip in Northern Ireland

Abstract: Fractures of the hip are becoming more common and more complex in an aging, increasingly frail population. We expect these trends to continue. This will place an increasing economic and clinical strain on healthcare systems. Forward planning is essential to put systems in place that can deal with the increasing demand.

“…In recent years, load sharing devices such as fixation with intramedullary nails have gained popularity in the management of pertrochanteric hip fractures 1 . These cephalomedulary devices offer advantages such as a more efficient load transfer with the shorter lever arm, significantly less soft tissue disruption, shorter operative time, and have been shown to have superior outcomes when compared to the traditional extramedullary sliding screw devices particularly in unstable, multifragmentary fractures (AO type A2/A3) [2][3][4][5][6][7] .…”

“…Due to higher prevalence of osteoporosis and tendency to fall, this type of fracture affects mainly geriatric patients [ 1 ]. Corresponding to global demographic development, a further increase of femoral neck fractures is expected [ 3 ]. Between 3 and 10% of hip fractures occur in young patients after more severe forms of trauma such as motor vehicle accidents or falls from great height [ 4 ].…”

“…У багатьох країнах періодично проводять когортний аналіз захворюваності на пере-ломи, зокрема ПКНК, з аналізом за десятиріччями для встановлення нових тенденцій у їх епідеміології, а та-кож вікових особливостей оцінки ефективності ліку-вання переломів та медико-соціальних програм запо-бігання їх виникненню [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…За даними різних дослідників, кіль-кість ПСК неухильно збільшується в усіх країнах [2,7]. Було розраховано, що кількість таких пере-ломів у всьому світі збільшиться з 1,66 млн випад-ків у 1990 році до 6,26 млн у 2050 р.…”
