Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify the primary cause of 30-day readmissions for patients who underwent surgery for hip fractures.
- A total of 3,032 patients were analyzed, revealing that older age, higher comorbidity scores, and more major complications during initial hospitalization were linked to increased readmission rates.
- The leading reason for readmission was pulmonary complications, occurring in 17.1% of patients, highlighting respiratory issues as a significant concern post-surgery.
Objectives: To identify which hip fracture patients benefit the most from operative repair within 24 hours of Emergency Department (ED) presentation based on patient risk stratification.
Methods: Design : Retrospective Cohort.
Setting: Academic Medical Center.
Objectives: To determine which in-hospital complications after the operative treatment of hip fractures are associated with increased in-patient, 30-day, and 1-year mortality.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: A single academic medical center and a Level 1 Trauma Center.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to ascertain outcome differences after fixation of unstable rotational ankle fractures allowed to weight-bear 2 weeks postoperatively compared with 6 weeks.
Design: Prospective case-control study.
Setting: Academic medical center; Level 1 trauma center.
Purpose: Determine if any fracture characteristics or radiographic parameters were predictive of fixation failure [FF] within 1 year following cephalomedullary nailing for intertrochanteric fractures.
Methods: A consecutive series of intertrochanteric hip fracture patients (AO/OTA 31A) treated with a cephalomedullary nail were reviewed. Pre-fixation (neck-shaft angle [NSA], distance from ischial tuberosities to greater and lesser trochanters, integrity of lesser trochanter, and fracture angulation) and post-fixation (post-fixation NSA, posteromedial cortex continuity, lag screw position, tip to apex distance [TAD], and post-fixation angulation and translation) radiographic parameters were measured by blinded independent reviewers.
