Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Senile hip fracture is a common disease, and its high disability and lethality severely affect the lifetime and quality of life of the elderly.OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of senile osteoporotic hip fractures.METHODS: A computer-based search of CNKI, CqVip, WanFang and PubMed databases was performed for relevant basic research published from January 1995 to September 2016 using the keywords of osteoporosis,hip fracture, epidemiology in Chinese and English, respectively. Meanwhile, references in the searched articles were retrieved, finally 27 eligible articles were enrolled for analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The occurrence of senile osteoporotic hip fractures is closely related to the bone mineral density, proximal femur geometry, and fall-strain. (2) The preventions of osteoporotic fractures include primary prevention aiming at risk factors for osteoporosis and secondary prevention for osteoporotic patients. (3) The surgical treatment of femoral neck fracture is divided into open/closed reduction and internal fixation, femoral head arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. (4) Sliding hip screw fixation, proximal femoral intramedullary nail, external fixator and femoral head arthroplasty are used to treat intertrochanteric fracture. (5) There are various drugs used for hip fracture, such as calcium, vitamin D, estrogens, calcitonin and bisphosphonates. Indeed, individual treatment contributes to postoperative rehabilitation.
