Proximal femoral fractures are one of the most common fractures, especially in the older population group. Due to increasing life expectancy and the associated morbidity, the incidence of these fractures is also increasing. In order to realize a rapid remobilization and an associated reduced mortality, it is important to achieve a clear diagnosis, recognize possible pitfalls and perform prompt and reliable surgery in an interdisciplinary, perioperative setting. A great variety of possible implants are available for the surgeon. The surgeon should know them in detail and choose the correct one to match the individual type of fracture; however, despite optimal implants and surgical techniques, mortality is very high in the short-term course. Special attention must therefore be paid to a careful transition to post-hospital care and in particular the possible underlying cause of the fracture must be clarified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Femoral neck fractures are typical fractures of the elderly and the frequency is even expected to increase in the future because of the aging society. Due to the high number of comorbidities, there are special challenges concerning the operative treatment as well as the perioperative management of the mostly geriatric patients. Objective: The purpose of this article is to illustrate the different operative treatment options and the special requirements concerning the perioperative management of geriatric patients with femoral neck fractures. Material and methods: Based on a selective literature search, the procedures currently established in clinical practice are presented and discussed. Results and conclusion: Surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible (within 24 h) after the trauma. In displaced fractures (Garden types III and IV) in geriatric patients implantation of a cemented prosthesis is recommended. Total endoprostheses are used in younger and active patients because of better functional results, whereas older multimorbid patients with limited mobility even before the fracture, benefit from dual head prostheses. Multidisciplinary orthogeriatric treatment during the acute inpatient treatment and orthogeriatric rehabilitation programs improve the outcome of patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals with malunions after treatment of trochanteric and femoral neck fractures. It focuses on the biomechanical aspects of failed osteosynthesis while also discussing in equal measure the human factors related to surgeons and patients. This article only considers the fundamental clinical aspects of malunions as a comprehensive review of all complications and treatment options is not feasible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The optimal time to perform endoprosthesis of hip fractures in the elderly is still under discussion. CRP as an objective marker of postoperative inflammatory reaction should give an indication if early or late surgery is favored. Methods: CRP values from 122 patients with no complications after hip arthroplasty of femoral neck fractures were analyzed in context with the time between the trauma and the operation. Results: In early surgery within 24 h after trauma the CRP values were significantly lower than in delayed surgery. Conclusion: The lower postoperative inflammatory reaction after early surgery of hip fractures provides a better outcome when treated with arthroplasty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hip fractures are common and associated with high mortality and morbidity. Patients with hip fractures have a high risk of refractures.Osteoporosis is the underlying cause.A therapy with bisphosphonates is indicated without the need of further diagnostic testing with a bone marrow densitometry.

The indication for arthroplasty following trauma is generally established on the basis of the severity and type of the fracture, as well as on patient age. Thus, the initial situation in terms of surgery, as a result of these conditions alone, is significantly worse than in the case of primary endoprosthetic treatment of degenerative joint disease. Surgical planning also requires a more sensitive and usually more intensive diagnostic workup than for elective surgery, in addition to which arthroplasty following trauma is associated with a higher complication rate. For this reason, the present article examines the following questions: Is emergency endoprosthetic treatment following fracture justifiable? How should the procedure be explained to the patient? Does endoprosthetic treatment always represent “programmed surgery” and, if so, when is the optimal time for surgery? Does elective treatment even for simple medial femoral neck fractures count as a classic indication for endoprosthetic treatment following bone fracture? What are the particular surgical features of endoprosthetic fracture treatment and which surgeon can and should perform this type of surgery? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
