    Abstract: To analyze the risk factors of revision operation after the treatment of distal femoral fracture with lateral locking plate (LLP). Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 152 cases with distal femoral fracture treated in our hospital from March 2005 to March 2019. The SPSS 26.0 software (univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis) was used to analyze the general condition, fracture-related factors, operation-related factors, and construct characteristics of internal fixation. Results Sixteen of 152 patients who were included in the study underwent revision surgery, with a revision rate 10.5%. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, body mass index (BMI), fracture type, supracondylar involved or not, type of incision, quality of reduction, ratio of length of plate/fracture area (R1), the ratio of the length of the plate/fracture area above the condylar (R2), ratio of distance between proximal part of fracture and screw/working length of proximal plate (R3) between the two groups ( P 〈 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age [OR for age 〉 61.5 group is 4.900 (1.071–22.414)], fracture type [OR for A3 fracture is 8.572 (1.606–45.750), the OR for periprosthetic fracture after TKA is 9.073 (1.220–67.506)] , poor reduction quality [OR is 7.663 (1.821–32.253)], and the ratio of the length of the plate/fracture area above the condylar were the possible risk factors ( P 〈 0.05). Conclusion Age, fracture type (A3 and periprosthetic fracture after TKA), poor reduction quality, and the ratio of the length of the plate/fracture area above the condylar were the possible risk factors of the revision in distal femoral fractures treated with lateral locking plate. The appropriate application of the locking plate and operation strategy are the key to reduce the revision rate in distal femoral fractures.

    Abstract: To explore the preoperative radiographic features and reduction methods of irreducible trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures of the femur and to compare the perioperative characteristics and prognoses of irreducible and reducible fractures. Methods The data of 1235 patients with femoral trochanteric fractures surgically treated in our hospital between January 2010 and January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, 1163 cases of femoral trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures were included in this study. Fractures in which good or acceptable reduction could not be reached by closed manipulation were defined as irreducible fractures. The preoperative radiographic features, fracture displacement patterns after closed manipulation and intraoperative reduction methods used to treat irreducible fractures were analyzed, and the perioperative characteristics and prognoses of irreducible fractures and reducible fractures were compared. Results There were 224 patients in the irreducible group and 939 patients in the reducible group. According to the radiographic features of fractures, irreducible fractures could be divided into four types: those with interlocking of the fracture, sagging of the femoral shaft, splitting of the lateral wall or medial wall, and comminution of the subtrochanteric area. Various kinds of reduction techniques were needed for different types. Conclusions The incidence of irreducible trochanteric fractures was 15.4%, while the incidence of irreducible subtrochanteric fractures was 84.6%. According to the radiographic features of fractures, they can be divided into four types. It is important to identify irreducible fractures preoperatively and make comprehensive plans to the greatest extent possible to shorten the operation time, reduce intraoperative blood loss, and reduce the incidence of complications.

    Abstract: The aim of present study is to evaluate the femoral head bone quality by Hounsfield units and its relationship to the occurrence of implant failure for intertrochanteric fractures after intramedullary nail fixation. Methods This retrospective study assessed 160 intertrochanteric fractures treated with intramedullary fixation. Patients with and without implant failure were divided into failure and control groups, respectively. The demographic information, femoral head Hounsfield unit (HU) value, the reduction quality, status of posteromedial support and position of the screw/blade were collected and compared. The logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate risk factors of implant failure in intertrochanteric fractures after intramedullary nail fixation. Results Of the patients, 15 (9.38%) suffered from implant failure after intramedullary fixation. The mean HU value of femoral head was much lower in the failure group than the control group (133.25 ± 34.10 vs. 166.12 ± 42.68, p  = 0.004). And the univariate analyses showed that A3 fracture and poor reduction quality were associated with implant failure ( p   & lt; 0.05). After adjustment for confounding variables, the multivariable logistic regression analyzes showed that femoral head HU value (odds ratio [OR], 0.972; 95% CI, 0.952–0.993; p  = 0.008) and poor reduction quality (OR, 7.614; 95% CI, 1.390–41.717; p  = 0.019) were independent influencing factors for implant failure. Conclusion The femoral head HU value was significantly correlated with the incidence of implant failure and can be used as an independent factor to predict implant failure for intertrochanteric fractures after intramedullary fixation.

    Abstract: Limited studies were available to investigate the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on admission in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures. The aim of present study was to evaluate risk factors and the prevalence of pre-admission DVT in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures. Methods This retrospective study included 788 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture who were eligible for this study from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019. Color doppler ultrasonography was performed for DVT detection at admission. All patients’ clinical data were collected. Univariate analysis and stepwise backward multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the risk factors contributing to the occurrence of DVT. Results The overall prevalence of pre-admission DVT in patients with intertrochanteric fractures was 20.81% (164 of 788 patients). The mean time from injury to admission was 2.1 days in the total population, 2.96 and 1.87 days in patients with and without DVT. Univariate analysis showed that significantly elevated risk of DVT were found in patients with longer time from injury to admission, high energy injury, lower Hb value, higher BMI, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), atrial fibrillation, dementia, varicose veins, higher age-adjusted CCI, higher ASA class and A3 type intertrochanteric fractures ( P   〈  0.05). The adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that longer time from injury to admission, high energy trauma, COPD, lower Hb, diabetes and A3 type intertrochanteric fractures were independent risk factors of pre-admission DVT. Conclusions A high prevalence of pre-admission DVT was found in elderly Chinese patients with intertrochanteric fractures. Therefore, surgeons should be aware of the high prevalence of DVT for elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures in order to prevent intraoperative and postoperative PE and other lethal complications.

    Abstract: To compare the clinical outcomes between use of sliding fixation (three cannulated screws, TCS) and non-sliding fixation (four cannulated screws, FCS) in the treatment of femoral neck fractures. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 102 patients with fresh femoral neck fractures treated with TCS (60 cases) and FCS (42 cases) between January, 2018 and December, 2019. The demographic data, follow-up time, hospitalization time, operation time, blood loss, length of femoral neck shortening (LFNS), soft tissue irritation of the thigh (STIT), Harris hip score, and complications (such as internal fixation failure, non-union, and avascular necrosis of the femoral head) were also collected, recorded, and compared between the two groups. Results A total of 102 patients with an average age of 60.9 (range, 18–86) years were analyzed. The median follow-up time was 25 (22 to 32) months. The LFNS in the FCS group (median 1.2 mm) was significantly lower than that in the TCS group (median 2.8 mm) ( P & lt; 0.05). In the Garden classification, the number of displaced fractures in the TCS group was significantly lower than that in the FCS group ( P & lt; 0.05). The median hospitalization time, operation time, blood loss, reduction quality, internal fixation failure rate (IFFR), STIT, and Harris hip score were not statistically different between the two groups ( P & gt; 0.05). However, in the subgroup analysis of displaced fractures, the LFNS (median 1.2 mm), STIT (2/22, 13.6%), and Harris hip score (median 91.5) of the FCS group at the last follow-up were significantly better than the LFNS (median 5.7 mm), STIT (7/16, 43.8%), and Harris hip score (median 89) of the TCS group ( P & lt; 0.05). No complications such as incision infection, deep infection, pulmonary embolism, or femoral head necrosis were found in either group. Conclusion TCS and FCS are effective for treating femoral neck fractures. For non-displaced fractures, there was no significant difference in the clinical outcomes between the two groups. However, for displaced fractures, the LFNS of the FCS is significantly lower than that of the TCS, which may reduce the occurrence of STIT and improve the Harris hip score.

    Abstract: Fractures of the thoracolumbar spine are the most common fractures of the spinal column. This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine whether it is necessary to remove implants of patients aged over 65 years after the fixation of thoracolumbar and lumbar burst fractures without fusion. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 107 consecutive patients aged ≥65 years without neurological deficits, who underwent non-fusion short posterior segmental fixation for thoracolumbar or lumbar burst fractures. Outcome measures included the visual analog score (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), residual symptoms, complications, and imaging parameters. Patients were divided into groups A (underwent implant removal) and B (implant retention) and were examined clinically at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively and annually thereafter, with a final follow-up at 48.5 months. Results Overall, 96 patients with a mean age of 69.4 (range, 65–77) years were analyzed. At the latest follow-up, no significant differences were observed in functional outcomes and radiological parameters between both groups, except in the local motion range (LMR) ( P  = 0.006). Similarly, between preimplant removal and the latest follow-up in group A, significant differences were found only in LMR ( P   & lt; 0.001). Two patients experienced screw breakage without clinical symptoms. Significant differences were only found in operation time, blood loss, ODI, and fracture type between minimally invasive group and open group. Conclusions Similar radiological and functional outcomes were observed in elderly patients, regardless of implant removal. Implant removal may not be necessary after weighing the risks and benefits for elderly patients. Patients should be informed about the possibility of implant breakage and accelerating degeneration of adjacent segments in advance.

    Abstract: Study design: Retrospective. Background: Symptomatic bone cement displacement (BCD) is a rare complication following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) interventions for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). This study aimed to investigate the incidence and the outcomes of symptomatic BCD comprehensively and identify its risk factors. Methods: The clinical data of patients treated with PKP for OVCF between January 2012 and December 2020 were extracted. Patients who developed BCD following PKP during follow-up were divided into the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. Patients who did not develop BCD were assigned to the control group. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to compare the three clinical groups’ features to assess the independent risk factors for the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. Results: A total of 896 patients were enrolled. Twenty-one patients (2.3%) were identified as having symptomatic BCD following PKP for OVCF, and 35 (3.9%) developed asymptomatic BCD. Compared with the control group, the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups had a higher incidence of anterior leakage, intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC) signs, and a lower cement distribution score. The symptomatic group had a lower relative cross-sectional area (rCSA) of the paraspinal muscle (PSM), higher PSM fatty degeneration, and higher kyphotic angle (at the last follow-up) than the asymptomatic and control groups. For outcomes, the symptomatic group had a higher VAS/ODI score and a higher incidence of new vertebral fractures compared with the asymptomatic and control groups. Anterior leakage (OR: 1.737, 95% CI: 1.215–3.300), the IVC sign (OR: 3.361, 95% CI: 1.605–13.036), the cement distribution score (OR: 0.476, 95% CI: 0.225–0.904), PSM rCSA (OR: 0.953, 95% CI: 0.917–0.992), and PSM fatty degeneration (OR: 1.061, 95% CI: 1.005–1.119) were identified as independent risk factors for the symptomatic group. Anterior leakage (OR: 1.839, 95% CI: 1.206–2.803), the IVC sign (OR: 2.936, 95% CI: 1.174–9.018), and cement distribution score (OR: 0.632, 95% CI: 0.295–0.858) were independent risk factors for the asymptomatic group. Conclusion: The incidence of symptomatic BCD is 2.3% in patients treated with PKP. Anterior leakage, the IVC sign, and the distribution score were independent risk factors for BCD, and paraspinal muscle degeneration was a specific risk factor for symptomatic BCD. Symptomatic BCD can lead to poor outcomes.

    Abstract: The incidence of intertrochanteric hip fracture is expected to increase as the global population ages. It is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidities in the geriatric population. The incidence of reverse oblique and transverse intertrochanteric (AO/OTA 31-A3) fractures is relatively low; however, the incidence of implant failure in AO/OTA 31-A3 fractures is relatively high compared with that in AO/OTA 31-A1 and A2 fractures. To date, the risk factors for implant failure in AO/OTA 31-A3 fractures treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) have remained ambiguous. The purpose of this study was to identify the predictive factors of implant failure in AO/OTA 31-A3 fractures treated with PFNA. Methods The data of all patients who underwent surgery for trochanteric fractures at our institution between January 2006 and February 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All AO/OTA 31-A3 fractures treated with PFNA were included. Logistic regression analysis of potential predictors of implant failure was performed. Potential predictors included age, sex, body mass index, fracture type, reduction method, status of posteromedial support and lateral femoral wall, reduction quality, tip-apex distance and position of the helical blade in the femoral head. Results One hundred four (9.3%) patients with AO/OTA 31-A3 fractures were identified. Forty-five patients with AO/OTA 31-A3 fractures treated with PFNA were suitable for our study. Overall, implant failure occurred in six (13.3%) of forty-five patients. Multivariate analysis identified poor reduction quality (OR, 28.70; 95% CI, 1.91–431.88; p  = 0.015) and loss of posteromedial support (OR, 18.98; 95% CI, 1.40–257.08; p  = 0.027) as factors associated with implant failure. Conclusions Poor reduction quality and loss of posteromedial support are predictors of implant failure in reverse oblique and transverse intertrochanteric fractures treated with PFNA.
