Abstract

Ein 95-jähriger Patient erlitt eine transfusionspflichtige Blutung nach Osteosynthese einer pertrochantären Femurfraktur mittels proximalem Femurnagel. Das bei der Erstmobilisation sekundär dislozierte Fragment des Trochanter minor perforierte einen Seitenast der A. profunda femoris. Die Blutung konnte mittels Embolisation gestillt werden, und der Patient wurde wenige Tage später mit stabilem Hämoglobinwert entlassen. Wiederholt sinkende Hämoglobinwerte trotz mehrmaliger Bluttransfusion weisen auf eine aktive Blutung hin. Die genaue Identifikation der Blutungsquelle nach Osteosynthese proximaler Femurfrakturen ist entscheidend für die korrekte Therapie.

Translated abstract

A 95-year-old patient suffered bleeding that required a transfusion after closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) of an intertrochanteric femoral fracture with a proximal femoral nail. After mobilization of the patient the secondarily dislocated fragment of the lesser trochanter perforated a side branch of the profunda femoris artery. The bleeding could be stopped by embolization and a few days later the patient could be discharged with stable hemoglobin levels. A continuing decrease of hemoglobin levels despite repeated transfusion of red blood cells is indicative of active bleeding. Accurate identification of the source of the bleeding after osteosynthesis of proximal femoral fractures is decisive for the correct treatment.

A systematic review of hip fracture incidence and probability of fracture worldwide

J Kanis, Thomas A. Odén, E. McCloskey … (2012)

Summary The country-specific risk of hip fracture and the 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture were determined on a worldwide basis from a systematic review of literature. There was a greater than 10-fold variation in hip fracture risk and fracture probability between countries. Introduction The present study aimed to update the available information base available on the heterogeneity in the risk of hip fracture on a worldwide basis. An additional aim was to document variations in major fracture probability as determined from the available FRAX models. Methods Studies on hip fracture risk were identified from 1950 to November 2011 by a Medline OVID search. Evaluable studies in each country were reviewed for quality and representativeness and a study (studies) chosen to represent that country. Age-specific incidence rates were age-standardised to the world population in 2010 in men, women and both sexes combined. The 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture for a specific clinical scenario was computed in those countries for which a FRAX model was available. Results Following quality evaluation, age-standardised rates of hip fracture were available for 63 countries and 45 FRAX models available in 40 countries to determine fracture probability. There was a greater than 10-fold variation in hip fracture risk and fracture probability between countries. Conclusions Worldwide, there are marked variations in hip fracture rates and in the 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fractures. The variation is sufficiently large that these cannot be explained by the often multiple sources of error in the ascertainment of cases or the catchment population. Understanding the reasons for this heterogeneity may lead to global strategies for the prevention of fractures.

Changing trends in the mortality rate at 1-year post hip fracture - a systematic review

Colum Downey, Martin Kelly, John F Quinlan (2019)

BACKGROUND Traditionally, the mortality rate at 1-year post hip fracture was quoted as approximately 30% of all hip fractures. There have been recent improvements in hip fracture care in the main driven by national hip fracture registries with reductions in 30-d mortality rates reported. AIM To address recent 1-year post hip fracture mortality rates in the literature. METHODS Systematic literature review, national hip fracture registries/databases, local studies on hip fracture mortality, 5 years limitation (2013-2017), cohorts > 100, studies in English. Outcome measure: Mortality rate at 1-year post hip fracture. RESULTS Recent 1-year mortality rates were reviewed using the literature from 8 National Registries and 36 different countries. Recently published 1-year mortality rates appear lower than traditional figures and may represent a downward trend. CONCLUSION There appears to be a consistent worldwide reduction in mortality at 1-year post hip fracture compared to previously published research. Globally, those which suffer hip fractures may currently be benefiting from the results of approximately 30 years of national registries, rigorous audit processes and international collaboration. The previously quoted mortality rates of 10% at 1-mo and 30% at 1-year may be outdated.

Ninety-day mortality after intertrochanteric hip fracture: does provider volume matter?

Roger Feldman, Mohit Bhandari, Beth Virnig … (2010)

Research on the relationship between orthopaedic volume and outcomes has focused almost exclusively on elective arthroplasty procedures. Geriatric patients who have sustained an intertrochanteric hip fracture are older and have a heavier comorbidity burden in comparison with patients undergoing elective arthroplasty; therefore, any advantage of provider volume in terms of mortality could be overwhelmed by the severity of the hip fracture condition itself. This study examined the association between surgeon and hospital volumes of procedures performed for the treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures in Medicare beneficiaries and inpatient through ninety-day postoperative mortality. The Medicare 100% files of hospital and physician claims plus the beneficiary enrollment files for 2000 through 2002 identified beneficiaries who were sixty-five years of age or older and who underwent inpatient surgery for the treatment of an intertrochanteric hip fracture with internal fixation. Provider volumes of intertrochanteric hip fracture cases were calculated with use of unique surgeon and hospital provider numbers in the claims. Fixed effects regression analysis using generalized estimating equations was used to model the association between hospital and surgeon intertrochanteric hip fracture volume and inpatient through ninety-day mortality, controlling for age, sex, race, Charlson comorbidity score, subtrochanteric fracture, prefracture nursing home residence, Medicaid-administered assistance, surgical device, and year. The unadjusted inpatient, thirty, sixty, and ninety-day mortality rates and adjusted relative risks are reported. Between March 1, 2000, and December 31, 2002, 192,365 claims met inclusion criteria and matched with provider information. The unadjusted inpatient, thirty-day, sixty-day, and ninety-day mortality rates were 2.91%, 7.92%, 12.34%, and 15.19%, respectively. Patients managed at lower-volume hospitals had significantly higher (10% to 20%) adjusted risks of inpatient mortality than those managed at the highest-volume hospitals. By sixty days postoperatively, the increased mortality risk persisted only among patients managed at the lowest-volume hospitals (six cases per year or fewer). Patients who were managed by surgeons who treated an average of two or three cases per year had the highest mortality risks when compared with patients managed by the highest-volume surgeons. Only the highest-volume hospitals showed an inpatient mortality benefit for Medicare patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures. Unlike the situation with elective arthroplasty procedures, our findings do not indicate a need to direct patients with routine hip fractures exclusively to high-volume centers, although the higher mortality rates found in the lowest-volume hospitals warrant further investigation.
