Background: The purpose of this study is to characterize the clinico-epidemiologic variables of patients with hip fracture and assess the presence of complications, whether dependent or independent of performing surgery within 48 hours of the fracture.
Methods: A descriptive applied cross-sectional study of patients who underwent hip surgery was performed. Five hundred patients were included; females were predominant as they accounted for 68% (339); mean age was 75.5 years. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus were the most frequent conditions. Pertrochanteric fractures represented 56% (257) and were predominant.
Results: Mean operative time was 1.2 hours; and partial hip prosthesis accounted for 25.6% (128) and was the most common surgery performed, followed by plate osteosynthesis, which accounted for 25.4% (127) of the 457 procedures performed. The complication rate was 17%, with bronchopneumonia (2%) as the most frequent one; reoperation was the most frequent surgical complication (7.4%). Mean waiting time before surgery ranged from 72 hours to 14 days (73.2%) and mean hospital stay ranged between 7 and 15 days (37%).
Conclusions: The highest incidence of fractures occurs in females over age 75. The most frequent fracture is the pertrochanteric one, with a high incidence of chronic-degenerative conditions that results in increased postoperative complications when surgical treatment is provided after 48 hours.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the cartilage acetabular index and acetabular development and secondary dysplasia.
Methods: A total of 58 hips underwent intraoperative arthrography-guided open reduction or limited open reduction due to developmental hip dysplasia between 2011 and 2015 was included in the study. We evaluated patients with acetabular angle 8º as group 2.
Thoracolumbar Fracture: A Natural History Study of Survival Following Injury.

Background: Fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine are increasingly common. Although it is known that such fractures may elevate the risk of near-term morbidity, the natural history of patients who sustain such injuries remains poorly described. We sought to characterize the natural history of patients treated for thoracolumbar fractures and to understand clinical and sociodemographic factors associated with survival.

Background: Risk factors for gluteal tears include age-related deterioration, female sex, and increased body mass index. As the literature that supports the sagittal relationship between the lumbar spine and the hip is increasing, there may be a parallel relationship between the perturbations in spinopelvic alignment caused by lumbar spine disease and gluteal muscle tears. Because no prior studies other than single-institution series have reported on this phenomenon, we investigated spine-abductor syndrome at the population level.

Background: Iliopsoas injuries are a common cause of anterior hip and groin pain and can be successfully managed with conservative treatment. Corticosteroid and local anesthetic injections can also be offered in conjunction with nonoperative management. Given the variability in reported injection guidelines, composition, and techniques, the purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature to assess progression to surgery and patient outcomes following iliopsoas injections.

Introduction: Vascular injury during acetabular screw fixation is a life-threatening complication of total hip arthroplasty. This study uses three-dimensional computed tomography to (1) measure absolute distance from the external iliac artery (EIA) to the acetabulum, (2) determine available bone stock along the EIA path, and (3) create a novel acetabular vascular risk map.
Methods: A retrospective radiographic study was conducted using three-dimensional CT.
