Is Modular Prosthesis Superior to Monoblock Variant in Hemiarthroplasty for Fracture Neck of Femur?

April 2024
Background: The incidence of hip fractures is increasing every year worldwide. Even though hemiarthroplasty is one of the most common procedures performed for a fractured neck of the femur, there is very little research comparing the outcomes of monoblock and modular systems, the two most commonly used prostheses in neck of the femur fractures. It was hypothesized that in narrow femoral canals, the single-size monoblock stem would be more difficult to insert and lead to complications like limb lengthening and intra-operative calcar fractures.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is slowly making its way into all domains and medicine is no exception. AI is already proving to be a promising tool in the health-care field. With respect to orthopedics, AI is already under use in diagnostics as in fracture and tumor detection, predictive algorithms to predict the mortality risk and duration of hospital stay or complications such as implant loosening and in real-time assessment of post-operative rehabilitation.

- Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLAO) is a rare condition that can lead to severe back pain during pregnancy and after childbirth, as demonstrated in a case report of a 19-year-old woman.
- The patient experienced intense back pain and difficulty walking, which was linked to multiple compression fractures and bone issues seen in imaging tests.
- Early diagnosis of PLAO is crucial to prevent serious complications, including vertebral fractures, highlighting the need for awareness among healthcare providers.
Purpose: To estimate the Impact of delay in surgery for elderly hip fractures on short term outcome measured in terms of in-hospital mortality.
Methods: Retrospective study involving patients above 60 years of age with a primary diagnosis of hip fracture treated by surgery to analyze the relation between timing of surgery and in-hospital mortality.
Results: There were 144 patients who met the criteria.
