Risk factors for one-year mortality in 440 femoral peri-implant fractures: insights from the PIPPAS prospective, multicentre, observational study.

Aims: The Peri-Implant and PeriProsthetic Survival AnalysiS (PIPPAS) study aimed to investigate the risk factors for one-year mortality of femoral peri-implant fractures (FPIFs).

Methods: This prospective, multicentre, observational study involved 440 FPIF patients with a minimum one-year follow-up. Data on demographics, clinical features, fracture characteristics, management, and mortality rates were collected and analyzed using both univariate and multivariate analyses.

Predictors of outcomes after internal fixation of periprosthetic femoral hip fractures Subgroup analysis of the peri-implant and peri-prosthetic fractures Spanish registry (PIPPAS).

Purpose: To identify risk factors predisposing patients to poor outcomes after fixation of periprosthetic hip fractures around femoral stems.

Methods: Prospective multicentre cohort study of fractures around a hip replacement stem managed by internal fixation. The primary outcome was one-year mortality, while secondary outcomes were local complications and healthcare burden-related outcomes (nursing facility utilization and hospital length of stay).

Postoperative limb alignment in total knee replacement. Conventional versus navigated versus robotic techniques.

Background: Our objective was to compare the coronal mechanical axis after total knee replacement (TKR) obtained in three groups of patients subjected to conventional, navigated, and robotic surgery.

Methods: Retrospective analysis.

Results: 124 knees were included (36 conventional, 41 navigated, 47 robotic).

Use of the Heracles straight blade in the treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures: a prospective study with a 1-year follow-up.

Introduction: The treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly remains challenging for orthopedic surgeons, due to aging, comorbidities, and poor bone quality. The Heracles straight blade has proven a lower rate of cut-out and femoral head displacement in biomechanical studies; however, there are currently no published clinical studies using this nail.

Purpose: To analyze the clinical and radiological results of the Heracles nail with the straight cephalic Heracles blade as a device to treat osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures of the proximal femur.

Factors of presenting an acute confusional syndrome after a hip fracture.

Introduction: Acute confusional syndrome (ACS) is a geriatric syndrome that manifests itself with changes in cognition, attention, underactive or hyperactive motor response, and fluctuation in the level of consciousness after trauma, hospitalisation or surgery. The objective is to know the risk factors and prevention of acute confusional syndrome in the elderly with hip fractures (HF) .

Methods: Prospective observational cohort study.

Osteosynthesis in Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic fractures.

Introduction: The incidence of hip periprosthetic fractures (PPF) has been increasing in recent years. In Vancouver type B1 there are several osteosynthesis options. The aim of this paper is to assess both the treatment and results of Vancouver type B1 PPF in patients operated at our centre.

[Quantitative assessment of the loss of functionality associated with the appearance of complications in osteosynthesis of proximal humerus fractures.].

Objetive: To evaluate the relationship between incidence of complications and clinico-functional outcomes, after fractures of the proximal humerus treated with locking plates.

Material And Methods: Our study reviewed 47 patients who underwent internal fixation with plate for a period of 5 years. We present the clinico-functional outcomes with Constant-Murley and Quick-Dash scores, and cinematic analysis.
