Article Synopsis
  • The Modified Harris Hip Score (MHHS) has been translated into Arabic and validated for Arabic-speaking populations for the first time.
  • A study involving 183 adult Arabic speakers showed high internal consistency and reliability for the Arabic MHHS, with strong correlations between total scores and subscales.
  • The findings confirm that the Arabic version of the MHHS is reliable and valid for assessing hip pathology in adults in Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: To identify the prevalence of different types of femoral fractures post-motor vehicle accident (MVA) based on fracture location: proximal, middle and distal.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of all femoral fracture post-MVA x-ray charts carried out at the National Guard Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between November 2007 to December 2013.

Results: Among the 471 patients reviewed, most fractures were in male (87%) compared with female (13%) victims, with breaks more in the right femur (56%) than the left femur (44%).

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Abdullah A Al-Turki"

  • Abdullah A Al-Turki's research primarily focuses on orthopedics, particularly relating to assessment tools, injury analysis after motor vehicle accidents, and surgical outcomes in joint replacement procedures.
  • His study on the "Cultural Adaptation and Validation of an Arabic Version of the Modified Harris Hip Score" addresses the lack of Arabic versions for commonly used orthopedic evaluation scales and emphasizes cultural relevance and validation.
  • Research on femoral fractures post-motor vehicle accidents reveals a significant male prevalence and right femur dominance in fractures, while his analysis of blood transfusion predictors after total knee replacement aims to enhance surgical safety and patient care protocols.
