HIP FRACTURES

BY TARIQ KHAN

Anatomy

Blood Supply
intracapsular are at risk

of non union and avascular necrosis due to interruption of the blood supply to the femoral head
Via cruicate (med and

lat circumflex) and intramedullary

Garden classification

Risk Factors
Age: >65 years

Co-morbid factors: osteoporosis, endocrine disorders


(hyperthyroidism, hypogondaism), GIT disorders interfering with calcium/ Vit D absorption, neurological disorders (Parkinsons, MS)

Gender: F RTA

Risk Factors
Nutrition: lack of calcium and Vit D in diet, eating disorders
(anorexia), high caffeine intake

Smoking

Alcohol
Medication: steroids, anticonvulsants, diuretics Environmental factors:
dim lighting, cluttered floors

Classification
Classified on

geographical position:
intracapsular: Subcaptial Transcervical basicervical Extracapsular: Intertrochanteric subtrochanteric

Garden Classification
Garden I: incomplete fracture of
the femoral neck

Garden II: complete fracture


without displacement

Garden III: complete fracture


with partial displacement

Garden IV: complete fracture


with full displacement

Anatomy of Femur
Valgus reduction: Reduction should leave neck shaft angle between 130-150 deg Accepable reduction may have up to 15 deg of valgus >185 deg at risk of AVN Varus reduction: Results in higher non-union rate Not an anatomical reduction may lead to post op displacement (Weinrobe 1998) Angulation: reduction should be between 0-15 deg of anteversion

Subcapital Fracture:
Most common

intracapsular fracture of the hip X-ray: white line of increased density of impacted bone may be seen at base of femoral head

Transcervical
Fracture
Occurs across neck of

femur Easy to view when hip xray obtained in internal rotation varus deformity

Basicervical
Fracture
Base of femoral neck

Extracapsular Fractures
Inter-trochanteric fracture. Sub-trochanteric fracture

Intertrochanteric Fracture
Most common

extracapsular hip fracture May results in varus deformity Classified by Evans as stable or unstable Most commonly used classification is Jensen where type 1&2 are stable and 3-5 are unstable

Jensen Classification

Subtrochanteric Fracture
Classified by

Seinsheimer:
divided into undisplaced, two part, and comminuted

Seinsheimer classification

Clinical Assessment
History:

H/o fall in a small percentage it occurs spontaneously C/o pain and inability to move the hip or put weight H/o other osteoporotic fractures: Colles or vertebral fractures

TRAUMA Direct Indirect

Vehicular accedents
Fall from height Crushing accidents

Avulsion fractures

Clinical Assessment Physical Exam


Leg externally rotated Shortening May show trochanteric ecchymosis Inability to lift the extended leg ROM is limited and painful Distal neurovascular exam Check the pelvis
-

Move posterior to anterior at the level of iliac crests Lateral to medial through the iliac crests

CLINICAL PICTURE

SYMPTOMS:

History of trauma, Pain, Swelling,

Limited movements.

SIGNS
LOCAL: Swelling, Ecchymosis, Tenderness, Limited movements Deformity, Length discrepancy, Abnormal movements, Crepitus

EXTERNAL ROTATION INABILITY TO LIFT EXTENDED LEG

Treatment Principles
Early surgery / 24-48h in patients who are medically stable May wait up to 72h to stabilize the pt. Assess cardiac risk Delay in surgery/prolonged bed rest means:
increased risk of DVT, UTI, pulmonary complications,

skin breakdown, delayed functional recovery

Treatment Principles DVT Prophylaxis


Fatal PE in 4-7% of patients undergoing hip surgery, Risk of bleeding 3.5% compared to 2.9% without anticoagulation Heparin 5000U q12h or LMWH upon admission Pneumatic compression additional to heparin Continue prophylaxis until patient is fully ambulatory

treatment
Coservative
tractoin: skin traction skeletal traction

Operative
reduction and internal fixation arthroplasty : Hemiarthroplasty total arthroplasty

TREATMENT OF CLOCED FRACTURES UNDISPLACED REDUCIBLE CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT 1-TRACTION


SKELETAL TRACTION

Types of Surgery

Minimally displaced femoral neck fracture

Internal fixation with multiple screws

Prosthetic replacement

Displaced Femoral neck Fracture esp. in elderly pt.

HEMIARTHROPLASTY TOTAL ARTHROPLASTY

Prosthetic replacement: HIP PROSTHESIS

TOTAL ARTHROPLASTY

HEMIARTHROPLASTY

Hemiarthroplasty Hip:
Indications:
Poor general health Pathological hip fracture

Contraindication:
Pre existing sepsis Young patient

Severe osteoprosis
Physiological age >70 Inadequate closed

Failure of internal

reduction Pre-existing hip disease

fixation device Pre-existing disease of the acetabulum

Hemiarthroplasty Hip:
Hemi associated with

(Luyao 1994, lorio 2001)

Lower reoperation rate (6-18% vs. 20-36%) Improved functional scores Less pain More cost-effective Slightly increased short term mortality

Types of Surgery

Displaced Femoral neck Fracture

Prosthetic replacement

Types of Surgery

Intertrochanteric fracture

Internal fixation with dynamic hip screw

INTER TROCHANTERIC FRACTURE DHS

DCS

GAMMA NAIL

Post-operative Care
Nutrition: oral protein supplementation with shorter hospital stay Foley - for 24h only,

- early removal results in less retention, earlier spontaneous voiding, less UTI
Anticoagulant prophylaxis Total hip precautions:
-

No adduction past midline use abduction pillows, No hip flexion beyond 90 (tall comode, no bending >90 No internal rotation keep toes upright in bed

Rehabilitation
Goal independent living Rehabilitation should begin first day after surgery with transfer from bed to chair Progress as soon as possible to standing and walking (2nd day post op) Promote weight bearing with assistance walker

SYSTEMIC COMPLICATIONS
LONG RECOMBANCY IN BED DVT, PE,,, MORTALITY

LOCAL COMPLICATIONS
Loss of fixation 15%of patients: internal fixation for displaced fractures Malunion COXA VARA Nonunion mo/years after internal fixation for displaced fractures Avascular necrosis of femoral head (osteonecrosis) Dislocation of the prosthesis early, related to infections or mal-insertion Loosening of prosthesis years after surgery

Coxa vara
