Clinical profile of patients with complex proximal femur fractures
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
In young and healthy individuals, the injury results from high energy trauma, whereas in the elder age group, most of the fractures are osteoporotic, resulting from a trivial fall. Aim: To study the clinical profile of patients with complex proximal femur fractures. Material and Methods: In this study, 20 cases of adult patients with complex proximal femur fractures with communition and osteoporosis were studied. Clinical and demographic characteristic were studied such as mode of injury, side affected and associated injuries. Results: The majority of the patients were in the age group of 41-60 years and 61-80 years i.e., 8 patients each (40% each). Most of the patients were male i.e., 12 (60%) and 8 (40%) were female. The most common mode of injury was road traffic accidents in 10 patients (50%) followed by fall from height in 7 (35%) patients. Both right and left side were equally affected. Conclusion: The complex proximal femur fractures were more common in old age and in females which could be attributed by underlying osteoporosis prevalent more in females
