“…The patient’s age, health and ambitions should be taken into account when deciding the best treatment for failed fixation [ 12 ]. If a 30 year-old patient had sustained a fracture that was treated with a DHS, but the plate had failed owing to poor reduction, then further attempts should be made at conserving the patient’s femoral head [ 20 ]. However, most of these fractures occur in osteoporotic bone.…”

Background:The majority of modern surgical treatments for managing hip fracture in the elderly are successful and result in a very low rate of revision surgery. Subsequent operations are however occasionally necessary. Optimal management of complications such as infection, dislocation or failed fixation is critical in ensuring that this frail patient group is able to survive their treatment and return to near normal function.Methods:This paper is a discussion of techniques, tips and tricks from a high volume hip fracture unitConclusion:This article is a technique-based guide to approaching the surgical management of failed hip fracture treatment and includes sections on revising both failed fixation and failed arthroplasty.

“…Femoral neck fractures (FNF) are commonly seen in the elderly patients after a minor trauma [1]. However, they account for only 2-3% of all femoral fractures in adults and may be challenging due to resulting from high-energy trauma [2][3][4]. Classification of FNF depending on the location includes: subcapital, transcervical and basicervical pattern.…”

Objective: Femoral neck fractures mostly occurs due to high-energy trauma in young population and management differs compared to elderly. Different geometric parameters in the hip joint can play a role in fracture morphology regarding to the age. Present study aims to compare hip morphology between young and elderly population Materials and methods: 45 patients with isolated femoral neck fracture included to the study. Patients were divided into two regarding to the age; group 1 (younger than 60 yr.) and group 2 (older than 60 yr.). Garden and Pauwels classifications, Sharp angle (acetabular index-AI), acetabular depth (AD), Hip-axis length (HLA), Neck-shaft angle (NSA), Center-edge angle (CE), Singh indexes and femur head extrusion indexes were compared between groups. Results: The mean age of group 1 (22 patients) was 48 ± 10.4 while the mean age of group 2 (23 patients) was 77 ± 6.3. Significant differences found in 3 parameters; the mean HLA (13.4 ± 1.4 cm vs 12 ± 1.1 cm) (p: 0,034), the Sharp angle (37.9° ± 5° vs 40.3° ± 3°) (p: 0.047) and the CE (38.1° ± 6.2° vs 34.8° ± 4.5°) (p: 0.48) between group 1 and 2 respectively. No statistically significant difference was found in terms of AD, NSA, Singh index and extrusion index. Conclusions: Our study shows influence of proximal femoral and acetabular morphology on femoral neck fracture in young patients and may help future studies to reveal the relevance between hip morphology and fractures type.
