   Sammanfattning : Hip fracture is a global and a growing public health problem. More women than men sustain hip fractures, the incidence increases exponentially with age and mean age is above 80. About one third of hip-fracture patients suffer from dementia and are prone to develop acute confusional state (delirium). LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Treatment of displaced fractures of the femoral neck with a hemiarthroplasty (HA) or a total hip arthroplasty (THA) today constitutes standard procedures with a good and predictable outcome with regard to the need for revision surgery, hip function and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, dislocation of the prosthesis remains a substantial clinical problem in this patient group and the dislocation rate is considerably higher than what can be expected following a THA in patients with osteoarthritis.

   Sammanfattning : Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in elderly patients is a common cause of suffering and premature death in individuals with osteoporotic bones. This fracture type is more common in women after menopause, and the associated patients are often osteoporotic, which contributes to a higher incidence of fractures. LÄS MER

7. 20. Outcome in patients with trochanteric and subtrochanteric femoral fractures : aspects on surgical methods, quality of life and cognitive function

   Författare :Ricard Miedel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Trochanteric fractures;

   Sammanfattning : A hip fracture is a significant cause of increased morbidity and mortality in elderly people and Scandinavia presents the highest incidence of hip fractures worldwide. The hip fracture is a serious consequence of osteoporosis which demands acute surgery with a high risk of complications and a threat to a continued independent living. LÄS MER
