Surgery Within 24 Hours Reduces Mortality and General Complication Rates in Patients Who Have Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures at the Hip.
Journal of Arthroplasty 2024 March 3
BACKGROUND: In patients who have hip fractures, treatment within 24 hours reduces mortality and complication rates. A similar relationship can be assumed for patients who have hip periprosthetic fractures (PPF) owing to the similar baseline characteristics of the patient populations. This monocentric retrospective study aimed to compare the complication and mortality rates in patients who had hip PPF treated within and after 24 hours.
METHODS: In total, 350 consecutive patients who had hip PPF in a maximum-care arthroplasty and trauma center between 2006 and 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. The cases were divided into two groups using a time to surgery (TTS) of 24 hours as the cut-off value. The primary outcome variables were operative and general complications as well as mortalities within 1 year.
RESULTS: Overall, the mean TTS was 1.4 days, and the 1-year mortality was 14.6%. The TTS ≤ 24 hours (n = 166) and TTS > 24 hours (n = 184) groups were comparable in terms of baseline characteristics and comorbidities. Surgical complications were equally frequent in the two groups (16.3 versus 15.2%, P = 0.883). General complications occurred significantly more often in the late patient care group (11.4 versus 28.3%, P < 0.001). In addition, the 30-day mortality (0.6 versus 5.5%, P = 0.012) and 1-year mortality (8.3 versus 20.5%, P = 0.003) rates significantly increased in patients who had TTS > 24 hours. Cox regression analysis yielded a hazard ratio of 4.385 (P < 0.001) for the TTS > 24 hours group.
CONCLUSION: Prompt treatment is required for patients who have hip PPF to reduce mortality and overall complications.
