Risk Factors and Outcomes of Extended Length of Stay in Older Adults with Intertrochanteric Fracture Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 2132 Patients.

We aimed to identify the risk factors associated with an extended length of hospital stay (eLOS) in older hip-fracture patients and to explore the relationships between eLOS and mortality and functional outcomes. In this retrospective analysis of surgically treated intertrochanteric fracture (IF) patients, all variables were obtained and compared between the eLOS group and the normal LOS group. All participants were followed-up for a minimum of two years and the relation between the eLOS and all-cause mortality and functional outcomes were compared.

Obturator Oblique and Pubic Ramus Inlet Views Can Better Guide the Insertion of an Anterior Column Acetabular Screw.

Objective: The objective of the present paper was to investigate the value of obturator oblique and pubic ramus inlet views in guiding anterior column acetabular screw insertion.

Methods: We collected pelvic CT scans at the diagnostic imaging center of our hospital between 2017 and 2019. Virtual three-dimensional (3D) models of the pelvis were created based on the CT scans.
