Osteoporotic hip fractures: 10-year review in a Singaporean hospital

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery
W Lb TanS Das De

Abstract

To review records of 2702 patients with osteoporotic hip fractures in a Singaporean hospital. Medical records of 1905 women and 797 men, aged 50 to 112 (median, 78) years, who were admitted to a Singaporean hospital with an osteoporotic hip fracture (ICD9 820) between January 2000 and December 2010 were reviewed. Female patients were significantly older than male patients (p<0.0005). The trend for the median patient age over the 10-year period has increased significantly in women (r=0.826, p=0.002) but not in men. Of the hip fractures, 49.4% were femoral neck fractures and 50.6% were intertrochanteric/ basicervical fractures. The rate of intertrochanteric/ basicervical fractures was higher in men than women (61.2% vs. 46.1%, p<0.0005). Increased age, ischaemic heart disease, Parkinson's disease, and being Malay or Caucasian or Sikh were more likely to have intertrochanteric/basicervical fractures than femoral neck fractures. Femoral neck fractures were usually treated with hemiarthroplasty (68.8%), cancellous screw fixation (20.6%), and conservative methods (20.5%), whereas intertrochanteric/basicervical fractures were usually treated with dynamic hip screw fixation (76.3%) and conservative methods (15.6%). 84 women and 26 men ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
