Intensive Multiprofessional Rehabilitation Is Superior to Standard Orthogeriatric Care in Patients with Proximal Femur Fractures-A Matched Pair Study of 9580 Patients from the Registry for Geriatric Trauma (ATR-DGU).

Orthogeriatric treatment, which involves a collaborative approach between orthopedic surgeons and geriatricians, is generally considered to be superior to standard care following hip fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate additional effects of a geriatrician-led multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. In this matched paired observational cohort study, patients aged 70 years and older with a proximal femur fracture requiring surgery were included.

Value of Proximal Femur Geometry in Predicting Occult Hip Fracture.

: Patients with occult hip fractures are a difficult subgroup to treat. MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing occult proximal femur fractures but is costly and may not be readily available in an emergency setting. The purpose of this study was to determine whether changes in the proximal femur geometry can predict the likelihood of an occult hip fracture in patients presenting with hip pain following a ground-level fall.
