- Fragility hip fractures are common and can have serious consequences, yet there is limited data, especially from African and Middle Eastern countries; this study focuses on mortality rates in Egypt.
- In a study of 301 patients over 65, in-hospital mortality was found to be 8.3%, but this rose significantly to 52.8% within a year, with most deaths occurring within the first three months post-fracture.
- Factors contributing to one-year mortality include older age, certain medical conditions (like cardiac or liver issues), type of fracture, duration of hospital stay, and postoperative complications, suggesting a need for better post-discharge care to improve outcomes.
Introduction: Insertion of gamma nail with the patient in lateral decubitus position have the advantages of easier access to the entry point, easier fracture reduction and easier implant positioning. Our study described the incidence of femoral angular and rotational deformity following gamma nail insertion in lateral decubitus position.
Methods: In a prospective clinical case series, 31 patients (26 males and 5 females; the average age of 42.
Introduction: Despite abundant sunshine, hypovitaminosis D is common in the Middle East. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D and related correlates among patients with hip fracture in Assiut University Hospitals in Upper Egypt.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 133 patients with hip fracture, aged 50 years and older, admitted to Trauma Unit of Assiut University Hospitals, from January through December 2014.
