Arthroplasty for intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients may allow early weightbearing and avoid fixation failure. Clinical results are reviewed in a consecutive group of acute arthroplasties (5 hemiarthroplasties and 29 total hip arthroplasties) performed via the anterolateral approach for intertrochanteric fractures. Age averaged 80.2 years. Follow-up averaged 35 months for living patients. Twenty-six patients died during follow-up. Time to death averaged 3.5 years. Five hips, all total hip arthroplasties, required subsequent surgeries: four for dislocation and one revised for sepsis. Acute intertrochanteric fractures are associated with high early mortality. In this series, a 15% complication rate and high mortality rate at 12 years was associated with acute arthroplasty. Dislocation is higher than in primary total hip arthroplasty utilizing the same surgical approach. The results do not support routine use of arthroplasty in treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures in the elderly.

Unlabelled: Using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink, our cohort study matched 237,297 individuals with hearing loss (HL) to 829,431 without HL. The study found an 8-10% higher risk of major osteoporotic fracture in individuals with HL compared to those without. Additionally, within the HL cohort, we identified risk factors for potential inclusion in fracture risk models.

Hip fractures (HFs) are common in elderly patients and are associated with high mortality rates and functional impairment. Malnutrition has been shown to negatively impact postoperative survival rates in HF patients. However, the relationship between the Geriatric Nutrition Risk Index (GNRI) and the risk of HF remains unclear.

Background: In this study, we estimated the risk of surgically treated postoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures (POPFFs) associated with femoral implants frequently used for total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: In this cohort study of patients who underwent primary THA in England between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2020, POPFFs were identified from prospectively collected revision records and national hospital records. POPFF incidence rates, adjusting for potential confounders, were estimated for common stems.
