HIP FRACTURE round up...

No skateboarding kittens, No sunsets, No sports results....

...if it's not #HIPFRACTURE related it doesn't get posted!

[Orthopalis @orthopalis]

Rehash of NEJM appearing in the BMJ....

[Will Eardley @Williameardley]

The Bone & Joint Journal https://t.co/Mhel8Wtmdt interesting- the raw data tells a slightly different story, like many other studies, less favourable of IMN. Of note, across the main implant providers, short nail is ~ 3x and long nail ~5x the cost of SHS systems. 🦴 💰 🔨

[SAD Hemi Study @SadHemi]

Elective lists cancelled…. Logbook numbers low? Make sure ARCP has a silver lining, join the largest study into hemi dislocation treatment.

[NEJM @NEJM]

Among patients 60+ with an intracapsular hip fracture, cemented hemiarthroplasty resulted in a modestly better quality of life and a lower risk of periprosthetic fracture than uncemented hemiarthroplasty. https://t.co/BKhd0PzXDr

[Orthopalis @orthopalis]

That heart sink trauma meeting moment - is it mine?!... Such a lack of evidence on how best to treat dislocated hip hemi's & an easy win CV opportunity for T&O trainees!

[SAD Hemi Study @SadHemi]

NEW STUDY ON THE BLOCK…

sign up for the largest study into dislocated hip hemiarthroplasies, more information following short!!!

...not specifically hip fracture but highlights what a significant burden trauma is worldwide, even compared to infectious diseases, Covid and it's ilk....

Excellent "Best of the Best" presentation from Moritz Lebe (on mortality after fractured neck of femur in patients aged 99 years+) at @BritOrthopaedic, representing @royallondonrot1 & @BartsBoneJoint #BOAAC21

[Australian & New Zealand Hip Fracture Registry @ANZHFR]

This week on Hipcast we’re talking about the ANZHFR Annual Report 2021 with registry team @JacquiCTClose, @DrIanHarris & @JamieSHallen. Tune in to get the updates on the new report! https://t.co/9r48PueJNG

[Falls & Fragility Fracture Audit Programme @RCP_FFFAP]

Will you be attending the @BritOrthopaedic annual conference in Aberdeen this week? If so, make sure you join our #NHFD symposium to hear the latest updates on hip and femoral fragility fracture care🙌 #BOAAC21

[Orthopalis @orthopalis]

A really thorough overview of hip fractures from StatPearls - Exactly what you need to point your medical student or Newbie FDoc towards in order to grasp the basics. https://t.co/hGg4aKEtEX

[Falls & Fragility Fracture Audit Programme @RCP_FFFAP]

Professor Matt Costa about to chair the #BOAAC afternoon session in the main auditorium including cost-effectiveness of implants - visit our stand to read our poster on variation in usage and costs involved in hemiarthroplasty implants

Great Work!

[Cornwall Research @NHSResCornwall]

Well done to Andrew King T&O Registrar @RCHTWeCare on his @OTrauma Trainee Principal Investigator of the year award for WHiTE8 He said "Its been a pleasure to contribute to research at RCH theres a fantastic team here and I would like to thank them for welcoming me to the team"

#Hipfracture incidence map. Interesting world view at a glance.

Given similarities with our transatlantic cousins, surprised UK not on a par with the USA?.... surely it can't be down to better reporting?

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

"In elderly patients with hip fractures, early surgery within 24 hours of admission is independently associated with less pulmonary complications including pneumonia, failure to extubate, and reintubation, as well as shorter length of stay." https://t.co/jlYVRWkXlR #hip #fracture

[Orthopalis @orthopalis]

@Richard16066527 Yes... apologies.... a question of poor semantics on my part describing an inherently flawed study (but what study isn't?). ASSOCIATED with delay.... Hopefully the readers won't take a tweet summary as gospel and critically peruse the link in detail!

[Orthopalis @orthopalis]

We already know that delay to #hipfracture surgery increases morbidity and mortality.

This interesting economic analysis from Belgium shows delay also increases costs...

Now even the accountants have reason to speed these patients straight to theatre!

I never realised it was that good at preventing #hipfracture

Alendonate pretty effective.... here is the direct link to the site that Dr Watson refers to...

[DrNicW 🥂 I am fearless + therefore powerful 💪 @drnicwatson]

Oooh! I like this. NNT for oral #Alendronate for primary #hipfracture prevention in over 85's is 11. No secondary prevention numbers 😔 Take that, Statin preacribers 😝 https://t.co/bvvGvI2o3k
