RODRIGUEZ SANTIAGO, Ernesto Miguel; LORIE ANDREU, Daniel; HERNANDEZ BARCENAS, Juan y DUQUESNE ALDERETE, Amilkar. Characterizing Patients with Hip Fracture, Operated with Arthroplasty. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.2 Epub 01-Dic-2021. ISSN 1561-3100.
Introduction:
Traumatic hip injuries occupy one of the most important purposes of trauma surgery. The use of arthroplasty as a golden rule in their surgical treatment is the foundation of the work.
Objectives:
To characterize patients with a diagnosis of hip fracture, who underwent total and partial arthroplasty and to study mortality, according to the type of prosthesis used.
Methods:
A descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out in 1506 patients from Fructuoso Rodríguez Orthopedic Teaching Hospital from 2015 to 2019, with hip fracture, and treated with arthroplasty. Variables such as age, sex, and present comorbidities were analyzed.
Results:
Total prostheses were placed in 427 patients and in 1079 the partial prosthesis modality was used. Persons between 61 and 80 years of age predominated. The female sex prevailed in this study, with a 3: 1 ratio. The group of patients with 1 or 2 associated diseases predominated. Mortality <30 days was 1.1% and ≥30 days was 9.2%.
Conclusions:
The use of total prostheses is far from the current average in the world, where the total prosthesis is used as the tool of choice. Partial prostheses are reserved for patients who have short life expectancy and very little validity.
