Similar Function and Adverse Events between THA and Hemiarthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fracture .
Este estudo foi identificado como tendo um impacto potencialmente elevado.
A métrica de Alto Impacto da OE, baseada em IA, estima a influência que um artigo poderá ter, integrando sinais da revista em que foi publicado e do conteúdo científico do próprio artigo.
Desenvolvido com recurso ao mais avançado processamento de linguagem natural, o modelo High Impact da OE prevê com maior precisão o desempenho futuro de um estudo em termos de citações do que o fator de impacto da revista por si só.
Isto permite o reconhecimento precoce de investigação clinicamente significativa e ajuda os leitores a concentrarem-se nos artigos com maior probabilidade de moldar a prática futura.

The outcomes of interest included mortality at 1 month, 1 year, and overall, infection, dislocation, revision, function (Harris Hip Score (HHS)) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL, based on Short-Form (SF)-36). Subgroup analyses were performed looking at unipolar vs. bipolar HA, mean age < or > than 80 years, and follow-up < or > 4 years. The included studies assigned patients to total hip arthroplasty (THA) versus hemairthroplasty (HA) for displaced femoral neck fractures (Garden III and Garden IV). Follow-up ranged from1 to 13 years. There was no difference in overall mortality, 30-day mortality, or 1-year mortality. There was also no difference between the two groups in in terms of infection, revision rate, function, or HRQoL. There was a significantly lower rate of dislocation in the HA group compared to THA (RR 0.37, p < 0.0001). The only finding that changed with subgroup analysis was that dislocation rate was only different in the first four years of follow-up, but not in studies with longer follow-up.

O Índice de Fragilidade é uma ferramenta que auxilia na interpretação de achados significativos, fornecendo uma medida de força para um resultado. O Índice de Fragilidade representa o número de eventos consecutivos que precisam de ser adicionados a um resultado dicotómico para que o resultado deixe de ser significativo. Um número pequeno representa um resultado mais fraco e um número grande representa um resultado mais forte.
Qual era a principal questão de investigação?
In patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, does hemiarthroplasty, compared to total hip arthroplasty, result in any difference in functional outcomes, mortality, or other adverse events?
- There was no significant difference between total hip arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty in terms of mortality at 1 month (THA: 5.2% vs. HA: 3.7%, p = 0.42), 1 year (THA: 13.3% vs. HA: 14.4% , p = 0.63), or final follow-up.
- There was no significant difference between THA and HA in terms of infection (THA: 2.5% vs. HA: 2.6%, p = 0.89) or revision (THA: 5.7% vs. HA: 8.8%, p = 0.05)
- There were no significant differences in terms of Harris Hip Score or Short-Form 36 scores
- There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of dislocation rate (THA: 8.1% vs. HA: 2.67%, p = 0.0001)
- Subgroup analysis revealed no changes to the above findings for mean age > or < 80 years of age or bipolar vs unipolar HA
- Subgroup analysis revealed no significant difference in dislocation rate in studies with follow up > than 4 years
De que é que me devo lembrar mais?
Overall, in terms of mortality, infection, revision, function, and health-related quality of life, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is similar to hemiarthroplasty in patients with displaced femoral neck fracture (Garden III and Garden IV). There is a significantly higher dislocation rate in the short to medium-term with THA, though this effect washes out beyond four years of follow-up.
Como é que isto afectará o tratamento dos meus doentes?
Based on this study, there is no convincing reason to opt for total hip arthroplasty, which involves a longer and more extensive surgical procedure, for most patients with displaced femoral neck fracture. This remains true regardless of patient age. If the decision is made to opt for total hip arthroplasty, surgeons may wish to consider strategies to reduce the likelihood of dislocation such as the use of dual mobility acetabular components.
