Deep Femoral Vessel Injury Following Subtrochanteric Hip Fracture: A Case Report: Jae Hyuk Yang, Jung Ro Yoon, Kyu Bok Kang, Ho Hyun Yun, Young Soo Shin, Yun Ku Cho; J Korean Fract Soc 2012;25(1):64-68. Published online January 31, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2012.25.1.64

Arterial trauma associated with hip fracture treatment is still a rare complication. We present a case in which an arterial injury was discovered during closed reduction and intramedullary nail fixation of a subtrochanteric hip fracture. The preoperative thigh circumference was increased due to severe swelling, and the vascular injury was located substantially proximal to the fracture and the instrumentation area. An interventional angiogram revealed a damaged vessel originating from one of the minor proximal branches of the right deep femoral artery while filling a 2 cm-sized pseudoaneurysm. Embolization was performed without further complications.

Delirium after Intertrochanteric Fractures of Femur in Elderly Patients: Kyu Bok Kang, Dong Hun Suh, Seong Rok Oh; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(2):131-137. Published online April 30, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.2.131

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the incidence, risk factors and prognosis of delirium in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures of femur.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
162 patients who underwent operation for intertrochanteric fracture of femur from July 2005 to January 2007 were reviewed retrospectively. Delirium was diagnosed by using Confusion Assessment Method (CAM). Medical records were reviewed for the information of the patients, Gross motor function classification of Palisano et al. was used for the evaluation of ambulatory status. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were done to find out the risk factors.
RESULTS
2 cases out of 162 (1.2%) met the criteria of delirium at admission, and 39 cases (24.1%) after surgery. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis identified age, hematocrit, dementia, the duration of opiate use, and pulmonary complication as risk factors. Hospital stay was longer and postoperative ambulatory status was worse in the patients with delirium.
CONCLUSION
Delirium is a frequent complication of intertrochanteric fractures of old age and associated with worse results. Cognitive function as well as physical status should be evaluated before and after surgery. Delirium needs more active prevention and treatment for better results.

The Prefracture Factors on The Hip Fracture in Elderly: Jong Oh Kim, Yeo Hon Yoen, Young Do Ko, Jae Doo Yoo, Jun Mo Chung, Han Cheon Bang, Kyu Bok Kang; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(4):531-537. Published online October 31, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.4.531

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
We studied the co-relation on the causes of the hip fracture through the analysis of a relevance on the etiological factors as increased incidence according increasing old ages.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Total 158 cases that treated on the hip fracture from 2001 Jan. to 2002 May were studied. The parameters were age, gender, smoking, obesity, type of fracture, place of fracture, other comorbidity, activity of daily living, bone marrow densitometry, hardness of floor, orientation, injury energy. And then, we analysis of difference between femur neck fracture and femur intretrochanter fracture and between stable femur intertrochanter fracture and unstable femur intertrochanter fracture.
RESULTS
The incidence of the femoral intertrochanteric fracture was larger significantly than that of the femoral neck fracture in the older than 80(p < 0.001). On the comparison of the pre-fractural activity of daily living, the group revealed lower activity had larger incidence of femoral intertrochateric fracture(p < 0.001). Also, the femoral intertrochanteric fracture was more larger in osteoporosis patient group(p < 0.005), and lower energy trauma(P<0.05). In a unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture, 21 cases(77.7%) of total 27 cases were belong to the group of the activity of daily living scale below C(p < 0.05), 24 cases of 27 cases were belong to the osteoporosis patient who was estimated below -3.0 on T-score(p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
In the hip fracture of the elderly patients, the femoral intertrochanteric fracture is more prevalance rather than the femoral neck fracture on the cases of older patient more than 80 year-old, lower activity of daily living scale, lower T-score less than -3.0 on BMD, lower energy trauma. Also, in femur intertrochanter fracture, unstable fracture is more common in low daily activity and osteoporosis
