Abstract:
Thirty-six patients with femoral neck fracture, including 23 male and 13 female with an average age of 78 years (range 70-89 years) underwent artificial hip replacement or dipolar femoral head replacement in Hebi Second People’s Hospital from May 2002 to October 2007. All patients completed the surgery procedure safely. Except 2 with incision infection, there were no serious complications occurred. The patients could get out of the bed 3-20 day after surgery (average 7 days); the length of stay in hospital averaged 22 days (range 16-27 days). Thirty-six patients were followed-up for 1-4 years. During the survival time, no prosthesis loosening, subsidence or joint ache was found. Twenty patients developed fever 2-5 days after surgery, and 2 cases developed regional inflammation. Functional evaluation results at the final follow-up for half a year show that 13 (36.1%) cases are excellent, 20 (55.6%) are good, and 3 (8.3%) are fine; the overall excellent and good rate is 91.7%.
