  • Pseudogout at the Knee Joint Will Frequently Occur After Hip Fracture
    Harato and Yoshida Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research (2015) 10:4 DOI 10.1186/s13018-014-0145-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Pseudogout at the knee joint will frequently occur after hip fracture and lead to the knee pain in the early postoperative period Kengo Harato1,3*† and Hiroki Yoshida2† Abstract Background: Symptomatic knee joint effusion is frequently observed after hip fracture, which may lead to postoperative knee pain during rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery. However, unfortunately, very little has been reported on this phenomenon in the literature. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between symptomatic knee effusion and postoperative knee pain and to clarify the reason of the effusion accompanied by hip fracture. Methods: A total of 100 patients over 65 years of age with an acute hip fracture after fall were prospectively followed up. Knee effusion was assessed on admission and at the operating room before the surgery. If knee effusion was observed at thetimeofthesurgery,synovialfluidwascollectedintosyringes to investigate the cause of the effusion using a compensated polarized light microscope. Furthermore, for each patient, we evaluated age, sex, radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA), type of the fracture, laterality, severity of the fracture, and postoperative knee pain during rehabilitation. These factors were compared between patients with and without knee effusion at the time of the surgery. As a statistical analysis, we used Mann–Whitney U-test for patients’ age and categorical variables were analyzed by chi-square test or Fisher’sexacttest. Results: A total of 30 patients presented symptomatic knee effusion at the time of the surgery.

  • Medical Consultation for the Elderly Patient with Hip Fracture
    J Am Board Fam Pract: first published as 10.3122/15572625-11-5-366 on 1 September 1998. Downloaded from CLINICAL REVIEW Medical Consultation for the Elderly Patient With Hip Fracture RichardJ Ackermann, MD Background: This article describes a family physician geriatrician's perspective on the comprehensive management of hip fracture in frail elderly patients. Primary care physicians might be called upon to pro­ vide medical consultation for these patients. Methods: Guidelines were developed by a combination of personal experience in consulting for several hun­ dred elderly patients with hip fracture at a large community hospital, literature review using the key words "hip fractures," "aged," and "aged, 80 and over," and educational presentations for family practice residents. Results and Conclusions: Elderly patients with hip fracture offer a prime opportunity for comprehensive geriatric assessment. Intertrochanteric fractures are almost always treated with internal fixation, whereas femoral neck fractures can be treated by either fixation or by hemiarthroplasty. Hip fracture should be re­ garded as a surgical urgency, and generally operation should not be delayed, even if patients have serious comorbidity. The family physician can be instrumental in preparing the patient for surgery, preventing and treating complications, and assisting in the placement and rehabilitation of patients after hospital dis­ charge. 0 Am Board Fam Pract 1998; 11:366-77.)

  • Lower Extremity Fracture Eponyms (Part 2) Philip Kin-Wai Wong1, Tarek N Hanna2*, Waqas Shuaib3, Stephen M Sanders4 and Faisal Khosa2

Lower extremity fracture eponyms (Part 2) Philip Kin-Wai Wong1, Tarek N Hanna2*, Waqas Shuaib3, Stephen M Sanders4 and Faisal Khosa2 Abstract Eponymous extremity fractures are commonly encountered in the emergency setting. Correct eponym usage allows rapid, succinct communication of complex injuries. We review both common and less frequently encountered extremity fracture eponyms, focusing on imaging features to identify and differentiate these injuries. We focus on plain radiographic findings, with supporting computed tomography (CT) images. For each injury, important radiologic descriptors are discussed which may need to be communicated to clinicians. Aspects of management and follow-up imaging recommendations are included. This is a two-part review: Part 1 focuses on fracture eponyms of the upper extremity, while Part 2 encompasses fracture eponyms of the lower extremity.
