[Risk analysis of primary endoprosthetic management of proximal femur fractures].
From 1984 to 1991 439 patients with fractures of the coxal femur (303 femoral neck fractures, 136 pertrochanteric fractures) were treated by primary arthroplasty. The average age of the 370 female and 69 male patients was 80.9 (+/- 9.9) years. In 368 patients (83.8%) concomitant diseases were diagnosed and 212 patients (48.3%) showed more than 1 risk factor. There were 205 alloarthroplasties and 234 hemiarthroplasties performed. The percentage of patients treated by total hip endoprosthesis was 31.2% in 1984 and increased to 63.1% in 1991. In 49.2% of all cases general complications occurred, pre-dominantly nosocomial infections and pressure sores. Local (surgical) complications were diagnosed after 10.5% of all operations. The 30-day-mortality was 5.2%, the in-hospital-mortality 5.9%. Statistical analysis by multivariate logistic regression showed an independent negative influence of pre-operative immobility, pertrochanteric fractures, diabetes mellitus and multiple concomitant diseases on mortality. Age, sex or other single risk factors were not independently associated with an increased mortality. Patients with the above mentioned risk factors are easy to identify pre-operatively and do perform better after intensive preparation, short operation time and early mobilisation after surgery.
