Abstract:
Objective To study the curative effect of prosthetic replacement for femoral neck frac-tures at the hemiplegic extremity in the elderly with previous stroke. Methods From May 1990 to May 2000, 189 elderly patients with femoral neck fractures were treated with prosthetic replacement. 29 cases were of previous stroke with femoral neck fractures (Garden type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ) at hemiplegic extremity. 30 non-hemiplegia cases were adopted randomly as control. Two group patients were subjected to a follow-up study for 2 years and 3 months to 8 years and 2 months(average 4 years and 11 months) to compare the differences of ages, hospitalization days, operation time, blood loss, blood transfusion, complications during perioperative period and short-term complications with each other as well as the results of femoral head re-placement versus total hip replacement in treatment of hemiplegia group. Results Two group patients sur-vived during perioperative period. The ages, hospitalization days, operation time, blood loss and blood trans-fusion were of no significant difference in two groups, while complications during perioperative period were of significant difference. 5 patients died in hemiplegia group and 2 patients died in non-hemiplegia group at 11 months to 5 years follow-up. Mortalities were 17.2% and 6.7% respectively. Short-term complication rate was of no significant difference in 2 groups. In hemiplegia group, short-term complication rate of femoral head replacement were significantly higher than that of total hip replacement. Conclusion Prosthetic re-placement is reliable to treat Garden type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ of femoral neck fractures of the hemiplegic ex-tremity in the elderly with previous stroke. Complications during perioperative period are more in hemiplegia group, but short-term complications are of no significant difference in 2 groups. Mortality of hemiplegia group is higher than in non-hemiplegia group in 5 years after operation. Total hip replacement should be in-dicated in treatment of Garden type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ of femoral neck fractures of the hemiplegic extremity in the elderly with previous stroke on condition that hip muscular strength is beyond Ⅳ degree.
