This study aims to investigate whether implant positioning is associated to risk of reoperation following internal fixation of undisplaced femoral neck fractures (FNF) with a posterior tilt < 20° in patients > 65 years.
Patients were retrieved from the Danish Multidisciplinary Hip Fracture Register in the period 2009-2013. The patients' health records and x-rays were reviewed for age, sex, implant, Charlson Comorbidity Index, mortality, reoperation, fracture classification and implant positioning. X-rays were measured for implant positioning using a pre-existing scoring system (the Schep score) as well as some additional measurements. Primary outcome was reoperation within 2 years. The study included 406 patients, 75% females and the median (range) age was 82 (65-99) years. Odds ratios (OR) are shown with 95% confidence interval.
There were 45 (11%) reoperations. Six measurements were individually associated to risk of reoperation: 1) Distance to inferior calcar < 1 or ≥ 6 mm, OR 2 (1.1-4), 2) Distance to superior cortex 10 mm, OR 2(1.1-5), 3) Tip-head distance < 3 or ≥ 20 mm, OR 2 (1.1-4), 4) Placement in the superior or inferior 15 mm, OR 2 (1.1-5), 5) Placement in the anterior 25 %, OR 6 (1.8-20), 6) Inter-implant angle ≥ 5°, OR 3 (1.4-8). The Schep score had no associated to reoperation, and therefore a new implant positioning (IMPO) score was developed. The IMPO score consists of 6 items; 1 point given for each acceptable implant placement. An IMPO score less than 5 had an increased risk of reoperation; 0-2 points OR 22 (7-71) and OR 5 (2-11) for 3-4 points, compared to a score of 5-6. Among the 207 patients with a score of 5-6, the reoperation frequency was 4%.
This study identified implant positioning as a predictor to an increased risk of reoperation in undisplaced FNF. The newly developed IMPO score seems promising for identifying risk of reoperation.
本研究旨在探讨在 > 65 岁患者中,对于后倾角 < 20°的无移位股骨颈骨折(FNF)行内固定后,植入物的位置是否与再手术风险相关。
从 2009 年至 2013 年,从丹麦多学科髋关节骨折登记处中检索患者。回顾患者的健康记录和 X 射线,以获取年龄、性别、植入物、Charlson 合并症指数、死亡率、再手术、骨折分类和植入物位置。使用现有的评分系统(Schep 评分)以及一些额外的测量方法对 X 射线进行植入物位置测量。主要结果是 2 年内再手术。该研究纳入了 406 名患者,其中 75%为女性,中位(范围)年龄为 82(65-99)岁。比值比(OR)显示了 95%置信区间。
有 45 例(11%)发生了再手术。有 6 项测量结果与再手术风险相关:1)距下骺小于 1 或≥6mm,OR 2(1.1-4);2)距上皮质 10mm,OR 2(1.1-5);3)股骨头颈距小于 3 或≥20mm,OR 2(1.1-4);4)位于上或下 15mm,OR 2(1.1-5);5)位于前 25%,OR 6(1.8-20);6)植入物之间的角度≥5°,OR 3(1.4-8)。Schep 评分与再手术无关,因此开发了新的植入物位置(IMPO)评分。IMPO 评分由 6 项组成;每项可接受的植入物位置得 1 分。IMPO 评分小于 5 分,再手术风险增加;0-2 分 OR 22(7-71),3-4 分 OR 5(2-11),与 5-6 分相比。在 207 名评分 5-6 分的患者中,再手术频率为 4%。
本研究发现植入物位置是无移位股骨颈骨折再手术风险的预测因素。新开发的 IMPO 评分似乎可用于识别再手术风险。
