Abstract



Objective: To evaluate the results of total hip replacement for patients with femoral neck fractures in Aden, Yemen

Materials and method: Patients were retrospectively sought who suffered a femoral neck fracture and who were all operated on by the author and a senior surgeon in the period from January 2018 to April 2020. The study was conducted at the department of orthopedic surgery, in Alnaqeeb private hospital in Almansoora, Aden, Yemen.

Statistical analyses were performed using the statistical program SPSS, version 17.

We expressed distribution of variables using means and standard deviation (SD). Fisher test was used and p-value 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results: The study patients were 70. All patients suffered from femoral neck fracture and were operated on for total hip replacement. They were (50%) females and (50%) males with a ratio female to male 1:1. The mean age of all patients was 68.9 ± 7.8 years (range, 60 to 87 years). The patients of the age group 60 – 70 were predominant with (72.9%). There was statistical significant difference between the age groups and sex of patients (p=0.05).

Causes of fractures were fall down (50%) patients, degenerative (25.7%) patients, inflammatory 7 (10%), and road traffic accident in (10%) patients.
Neck femur fractures with severe displacement were predominant with (60%).

Intraoperative periprosthetic fracture was found in 3 (4.3%) patients, post-operative periprosthetic fracture was also found in 5 (7.1%) patients. Also, we found implant failure or breakage in (1.4%), dislocations in (12.9%) patients and wound infections in (5.7%). Lower limbs discrepancy was found in (1.4%) patients.

Conclusion: Our study and previous published studies have shown that the complication rates are significantly lower.

Key words: Femur neck fracture, elderly patients, total hip replacement, Aden
