Geriatric acetabular fractures are becoming more common due to demographic changes. Compared with proximal femoral fractures, surgical treatment is more complex and often does not allow full-weight-bearing. The aims of this study were to compare operatively treated acetabular and proximal femoral fractures with regard to (1) cumulative 1-year mortality, (2) perioperative complications, and (3) predictive factors associated with a higher 1-year mortality.
This institutional review board-approved comparative study included 486 consecutive surgically treated elderly patients (136 acetabular and 350 proximal femoral fractures). After matching, 2 comparable groups of 129 acetabular and 129 proximal femoral fractures were analyzed. Cumulative 1-year mortality was evaluated through Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis, and perioperative complications were documented and graded. After confirming that the proportionality assumption was met, Cox proportional hazard modeling was conducted to identify factors associated with increased 1-year mortality.
The acetabular fracture group had a significantly lower cumulative 1-year mortality before matching (18% compared with 33% for proximal femoral fractures, log-rank p = 0.001) and after matching (18% compared with 36%, log-rank p = 0.005). Nevertheless, it had a significantly higher overall perioperative complication rate (68% compared with 48%, p < 0.001). In our multivariable Cox regression analysis, older age, perioperative blood loss of >1 L, and wheelchair mobilization were associated with lower survival rates after acetabular fracture surgery. Older age and a higher 5-item modified frailty index were associated with a higher 1-year mortality rate after proximal femoral fractures, whereas postoperative full weight-bearing was protective.
Despite the complexity of operative treatment and a higher complication rate after acetabular fractures in the elderly, the 1-year mortality rate is lower than that after operative treatment of proximal femoral fractures, even after adjustment for comorbidities.

由于人口结构的变化,老年髋臼骨折变得越来越常见。与股骨近端骨折相比,手术治疗更为复杂,且往往不允许完全负重。本研究旨在比较手术治疗的髋臼和股骨近端骨折,比较内容包括:(1)1 年累计死亡率,(2)围手术期并发症,(3)与 1 年死亡率较高相关的预测因素。
本机构审查委员会批准的这项回顾性比较研究纳入了 486 例连续接受手术治疗的老年患者(髋臼骨折 136 例,股骨近端骨折 350 例)。经过匹配,分析了两组可比的髋臼骨折和股骨近端骨折患者各 129 例。通过 Kaplan-Meier 生存分析评估 1 年累计死亡率,并记录和分级围手术期并发症。在确认比例假设成立后,进行 Cox 比例风险建模以确定与 1 年死亡率增加相关的因素。
在未匹配之前,髋臼骨折组的 1 年累计死亡率显著较低(18%比股骨近端骨折组的 33%,log-rank p=0.001),在匹配之后也较低(18%比 36%,log-rank p=0.005)。然而,其整体围手术期并发症发生率显著较高(68%比 48%,p<0.001)。在我们的多变量 Cox 回归分析中,年龄较大、围手术期失血>1 L 和轮椅移动与髋臼骨折手术后生存率降低相关。年龄较大和较高的 5 项改良衰弱指数与股骨近端骨折术后 1 年死亡率较高相关,而术后完全负重是保护性因素。
尽管老年髋臼骨折手术治疗复杂,且围手术期并发症发生率较高,但 1 年死亡率仍低于手术治疗股骨近端骨折,即使在调整合并症后也是如此。
