Background: It is a common preconception that young individuals sustaining hip fractures have alcohol and/or drug use disorder. It is important to evaluate the actual use to avoid complications and plan the rehabilitation.
Aim: The primary objective was to assess alcohol and drug consumption in hip fracture patients <60 years using the validated Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT) scores.
Background And Purpose: Limited research has been conducted on basicervical femoral neck fractures (bFNFs). The importance of displacement in clinical outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to characterize patient demographics, degree of displacement, treatment, treatment failures, and reoperations in a cohort of fractures from the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims: Our primary aim was to assess reoperation-free survival at one year after the index injury in patients aged ≥ 75 years treated with internal fixation (IF) or arthroplasty for undisplaced femoral neck fractures (uFNFs). Secondary outcomes were reoperations and mortality analyzed separately.
Methods: We retrieved data on all patients aged ≥ 75 years with an uFNF registered in the Swedish Fracture Register from 2011 to 2018.

Background: It is unclear whether unipolar (UHA) or bipolar (BHA) hemiarthroplasty should be the preferred treatment of femoral neck fracture (FNF).
Aim: We investigated the reoperation rate at 13 years post-fracture after BHA and UHA as treatment of FNF, including a subgroup analysis of individuals who survived 5 years or more, and described the reasons for reoperation after BHA and UHA respectively.
Methods: In an observational cohort study on prospectively collected national register data, 16,216 BHA and 22,186 UHA were available for matching.
