Objective:
To identify the risk factors for failure of internal fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) for reverse intertrochanteric hip fractures.
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted of the 45 patients with reverse intertrochanteric hip fracture who had been treated with PFNA fixation from January 2006 through January 2018 at the Department of Traumatic Orthopaedics, The Third Affiliated Hospital to Peking University. They were 19 males and 26 females, aged from 19 to 97 years (average, 71.9 years). According to the AO/OTA classification, there were 7 cases of type 31-A3.1, 4 cases of type 31-A3.2 and 34 cases of type 31-A3.3. Fracture healing was judged according to the X-ray at the time of last follow-up. The patients were assigned into a healed group and a failed group. The 2 groups were compared in terms of gender, age, body mass index (BMI), mechanism of injury, AO classification, type of main fracture line, reduction method, reduction quality, status of lateral femoral wall and tip-apex distance. A multivariate logistic regression model was designed to analyse the dependent variable 'implant failure’ with a set of independent variables as risk factors.
Results:
The 45 patients were followed up for 12 to 62 months (average, 28.4 months). Implant failure was observed in a total of 6 patients (13.3%), 3 of whom had helical blade perforation, 2 main screw breakage, and one cut-out of helical blade. The single factor analysis revealed significant differences in reduction quality and type of main fracture line between the patients with successful fixation and those with failed fixation (

Objective To explore the employment values and the related factors of the patients with schizophrenia in the rehabilitation stage .Methods A total of 158 patients with schizophrenia were selected from March 2013 to May 2015 in our hospital for treatment rehabilitation program and agreed to participate in this study, using relevant questionnaire investigation .Results The employment values evaluation score in patients was (2.73 ±0.97), and its main influencing factors were the patient′s age, culture level, illness experience level , duration, employment, employment expectation , the quality of life, sense of self respect , protector, we are looking forward to your support, expert support, daily life ability, shame, always persuade at a rate of 75.2%. Conclusions The overall employment values level of patients with schizophrenia is not high , but the patient′s values of employment can be improved from the patient′s employment expectation , quality of life, sense of self-respect, protector, friend support, expert support, activity of daily life, disease shame and other measures .
