Objective: Nottingham Hip Fracture Score was utilized to evaluate its efficacy to identify high risk pateints interms of 3 months postoperative mortality.NHFS comprises of seven independent predictors that were incorporated into a risk score to identify patients who were high risk for post-operative mortality with hip fracture..
Methods: NHFS was prospectively calculated for 88 patients who underwent surgeries for hip fracture from 25th December 2014 to 25th June 2015 at the Indus Hospital Karachi. Both neck of femur and Intertrochanteric fracture were included. NHFS of ≤4 was considered as low risk and a score of ≥5 as high risk for mortality.
Results: The 3 months post-operative mortality was 22%. Increase in number of mortality was observed in patients who belonged to the high risk (NHFS ≥5) group, with statistically significant relationship when compared with the low risk (NHFS ≤4) group (p=0.01).
Conclusions: NHFS can be used to predict the risk of 3 months postoperative mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

The best treatment method for reverse obliquity intertrochanteric fractures (ROIFs) is still under debate. Our team designed the modified proximal femoral nail (MPFN) specially for treating such fractures. The objective of this research was to introduce the MPFN device and compare the biomechanical properties with Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) and InterTAN nail via finite element modelling.

Bone mineral density (BMD) levels achieved on osteoporosis treatment are predictive of subsequent fracture risk, and T-score > -2.5 has been proposed as a minimum treatment target for women with osteoporosis. Knowing the likelihood of attaining target T-scores with different medications for different baseline BMD levels can help determine appropriate initial treatment for individual patients.

Background: Malnutrition predicts poor outcomes following hip fracture, affecting patient recovery, healthcare performance, and costs. Evidence-based guidelines recommend multicomponent, interdisciplinary nutrition care to improve intake, reduce complications, and enhance outcomes. This study examines global variation in oral nutrition support for older (65+ years) hip fracture inpatients.

: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the older adult population and is often associated with reduced physical activity. Reduced activity and mechanical loading subsequently reduce bone mineral density and increase risk of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates (BPs) offer preventative effects on osteoporotic fractures in the general population, but their effects on patients with AD are less known.

Managing periprosthetic femoral fractures is challenging, particularly in osteoporotic patients with fragile bones. Revision with a long stem is commonly considered but may fail to provide adequate fixation and stability in fragile bones. A novel approach using sandwiched strut allografts and controlled bone crushing with robust cable fixation can offer mechanical support and provide secondary stability to the loosened femoral stem and can be considered a treatment option for low-demand patients.
