RESUMEN

PURPOSE: This study was performed to compare outcomes of the Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN®) with a helical blade versus TFN® with a femoral neck screw for the treatment of intertrochanteric femoral fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single center, retrospective cohort study. Patients (>18 years of age) with an intertrochanteric femoral fracture, who were operated on between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016 were included. Primary and secondary outcome measures were cut-out rate and intervention variables, respectively. Data from X-ray examinations and patient medical files were collected and analyzed. The chi-square test or Student's t-test were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: A total of 631 patients were surgically treated for an intertrochanteric femoral fracture. Of this group, 239 patients (37.9%) were treated with a TFN® with helical blade and 392 patients (62.1%) with a TFN® with femoral neck screw. There were no statistically significant differences between the baseline characteristics of both groups. A total of 17 (2.7%) cut-outs were recorded, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.19). Additionally, there were no statistically significant differences in the secondary outcome measures between the two groups. CONCLUSION: There are no statistically significant differences in primary and secondary outcomes following treatment of intertrochanteric femur fracture with the TFN® helical blade or TFN® femoral neck screw. These findings suggest that the choice of collum implant for the surgical treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures cannot be made based on the surgical outcomes of the two implants evaluated here.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In the Netherlands, two performance indicators for the treatment of hip fracture patients have been recently implemented. Both indicators state that surgery within 24 h after admission improves the outcome with regard to 1-year mortality and the amount of re-operations within 1 year. To determine the value of these performance indicators, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 941 hip fracture patients. METHODS: In the period from January 2003 to December 2006, a total of 941 consecutive hip fracture patients were included in this study. We determined the amount of re-operations and the mortality at 1 year after surgery. From June 2005 to December 2006, we could determine whether patients were operated on within 24 h after admission. In this group of 379 patients, we determined if there were differences in the 1-year mortality and the number of re-operations at 1 year with regard to the time window in which these patients were operated on (<24 h or >24 h). RESULTS: Our overall mortality rate at 1 year is 21% (202 patients) and the amount of re-operations within 1 year is 8% (77 procedures). In our subgroup analysis, we found no significant difference in mortality or re-operations if patients were operated on within 24 h or not (number needed to treat of 59 and -31, respectively). CONCLUSION: We conclude that hip fracture surgery within 24 h does not provide significantly better results in terms of 1-year mortality and the amount of re-operations within 1 year.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Chronic groin pain, especially in professional sportsmen, is a difficult clinical problem. METHODS: From January 1999 to August 2005, 55 professional and semiprofessional sportsmen (53 males; mean age, 25 +/- 4.5 years; range, 17-36 years) with undiagnosed chronic groin pain were followed prospectively. All the patients underwent an endoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) mesh placement. RESULTS: Incipient hernia was diagnosed in the study athletes: 15 on the right side (27%), 12 on the left side (22%), and 9 bilaterally (16%). In 20 patients (36%), an inguinal hernia was found: 3 direct inguinal hernias (5%) and 17 indirect hernias (31%). All the athletes returned to their normal sports level within 3 months after the operation. CONCLUSIONS: A TEP repair must be proposed to patients with prolonged groin pain unresponsive to conservative treatment. If no clear pathology is identified, reinforcement of the wall using a mesh offers good clinical results for athletes with idiopathic groin pain.
