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).

Complications of standard versus long cephalomedullary nails in the treatment of unstable extracapsular proximal femoral fractures: A randomized controlled trial.

Aims: To compare in a prospective randomized trial the mechanical complications in patients with unstable extracapsular proximal femur fractures without subtrochanteric extension (AO/OTA 31-A2 and 31-A3) METHODS: We prospectively studied 182 patients with unstable extracapsular proximal femur fractures without fractures lines extending more than 3 cm below the lesser trochanter, randomized to receive either a 'standard' (240 mm) nail or a long nail and followed them up for 1 year.

Results: We found no difference in the incidence of mechanical or general complications between the two groups, no cut-outs, no fractures of the tip the implant, 1 cut-through and 2 malrotations in the LN group, 2 non-unions that were reoperated, one on each group. The commonest complication was blade lateral migration, 13 (14%) patients in SN and 6 (9%) in the LN.

Risk of Mortality for Proximal Femoral Fracture in Patients With and Without COVID-19. A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has resulted in a widespread loss of lives, morbidity, and major disruptions to the healthcare system. Hip fractures are an emergent condition which require early intervention to reduce increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Infection of SARS-CoV-2 may contribute to increased mortality due to the role of infection and immune response.

Mortality Rates of Patients with Proximal Femoral Fracture in a Worldwide Pandemic: Preliminary Results of the Spanish HIP-COVID Observational Study.

Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), in December 2019 in Wuhan, People's Republic of China, has developed into an unprecedented pandemic with enormous pressure on health-care providers around the world. A higher mortality rate has been described in older infected individuals. Patients with hip fracture are a particularly vulnerable population during this pandemic because older age is associated with a higher mortality rate.

Exon array analysis reveals genetic heterogeneity in atypical femoral fractures. A pilot study.

Atraumatic subtrochanteric and diaphyseal (atypical) femoral fractures are a rare, but important adverse event in patients treated with potent anti-resortive agents. The mechanisms involved are unknown and particularly the association with genetic variants has not been explored. The aim of the study was to identify rare genetic variants that could be associated with the occurrence of these fractures.

[Study on the improvement of trauma patient care: TRAUMACAT project].

Unlabelled: Multiple injuries are a major source of morbidity and mortality in young people. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a collaborative strategy to improve the implementation of six clinical indicators, recognized internationally, for the treatment of trauma patient. Prospective, multicentre, pre-and post-intervention study, in ten referral hospitals, offering polytrauma care in Catalonia.
