[PMID: 39236603 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2024.111830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to use machine learning (ML) to establish risk factor and prediction models of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs) after internal fixation. METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical data of patients with FNFs who were followed up for at least 2 years. Only intracapsular FNFs were included. In total, 437 patients and 24 variables were enrolled. The entire dataset was divided into training (89.5 %) and test (10.5 %) datasets. Six models-logistic regression, naive Bayes, decision tree, random forest, multilayer perceptron, and AdaBoost-were established and validated for predicting postoperative ONFH. We compared the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, recall, and F1 score of different models. In addition, a confusion matrix, density curve, and learning curve were used to evaluate the model performance. RESULTS The logistic regression model performed best at predicting ONFH in patients with FNFs undergoing internal fixation surgery, with an AUC, accuracy, recall, F1 score, and prediction value of 0.84, 0.89, 1.00, 0.94, and 89.1 %, respectively. The learning and density curves demonstrated a good prediction fitting degree and distinct separation. When establishing the ML models, the reduction quality, internal fixation removal, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, injury mechanism, and displacement distance of the medial cortex were the top five risk factors positively correlated with the occurrence of ONFH. CONCLUSIONS The logistic regression model had excellent performance in predicting ONFH in patients with FNFs after internal fixation and could provide valuable guidance in clinical decision-making. When choosing treatment options for patients with FNFs, doctors should identify the risk factors and consider using the presented models to help anticipate outcomes and select individualised treatment.

Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of using an inverted triangular cannulated compression screw in combination with positive or negative buttress reduction for the healing of femoral neck fractures. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:544. [PMID: 39010006 PMCID: PMC11247803 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07673-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of inverted triangular cannulated compression screws combined with Gotfried positive or negative buttress reduction in the healing of femoral neck fractures. METHODS Between October 2017 and March 2021, 55 patients with femoral neck fractures underwent treatment using inverted triangular cannulated compression screws combined with Gotfried positive or negative buttress reduction. Among these patients, 29 received inverted triangular cannulated compression screws combined with Gotfried positive buttress reduction treatment. This group consisted of 16 males and 13 females, with an average age of 43.45 ± 8.23 years. Additionally, 26 patients received inverted triangular cannulated compression nails combined with Gotfried negative buttress reduction treatment. This group included 14 males and 12 females, with an average age of 41.96 ± 8.69 years. Postsurgery, various measurements were taken, including the degree of shortening of the femoral neck, degree of bone nonunion, degree of fixation failure, degree of ischemic necrosis of the femoral head, and Harris score of the hip joint. RESULTS All patients were followed up for a minimum of 18 months. The group that underwent treatment with an inverted triangular cannulated compression screw combined with Gotfried positive buttress reduction did not experience any cases of bone nonunion, fixation failure, or ischemic necrosis of the femoral head. In the group that received treatment with inverted triangle cannulated compression screws combined with Gotfried negative buttress reduction, there was one case of bone nonunion, three cases of early fixation failure, and one case of ischemic necrosis. Ultimately, five patients (19.23% of the total) underwent joint replacement surgery. The average shortening lengths in the vertical plane were 4.07 ± 1.98 mm and 8.08 ± 3.54 mm, respectively. In the horizontal plane, the average shortening lengths were 3.90 ± 1.57 mm and 7.77 ± 3.31 mm, respectively. At the last follow-up, the group that received Gotfried positive buttress reduction had a greater Harris hip joint score. CONCLUSION The success rate of combining inverted triangular cannulated compression screws with Gotfried positive buttress reduction surgery is relatively high. This surgical approach effectively prevents femoral neck shortening and improves hip joint function. Moreover, it is crucial to avoid negative buttress reduction when managing femoral neck fractures.

Biomechanical Research of Three Parallel Cannulated Compression Screws in Oblique Triangle Configuration for Fixation of Femoral Neck Unstable Fractures. Orthop Surg 2024; 16:953-964. [PMID: 38389204 PMCID: PMC10984827 DOI: 10.1111/os.14004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgical treatment with internal fixation, specifically percutaneous fixation with three cannulated compression screws (CCSs), is the preferred choice for young and middle-aged patients. The mechanical advantage of the optimal spatial configuration with three screws provides maximum dispersion and cortical support. We suspect that the spatial proportion of the oblique triangle configuration (OTC) in the cross-section of the femoral neck isthmus (FNI) may significantly improve shear and fatigue resistance of the fixed structure, thereby stabilizing the internal fixation system in femoral neck fracture (FNF). This study aims to explore the mechanical features of OTC and provide a mechanical basis for its clinical application. METHODS Twenty Sawbone femurs were prepared as Pauwels type III FNF models and divided equally into two fixation groups: OTC and inverted equilateral triangle configuration (IETC). Three 7.3 mm diameter cannulated compression screws (CCSs) were used for fixation. The specimens of FNF after screw internal fixation were subjected to static loading and cyclic loading tests, respectively, with five specimens for each test. Axial stiffness, 5 mm failure load, ultimate load, shear displacement, and frontal rotational angle of two fragments were evaluated. In the cyclic loading test, the load sizes were 700 N, 1400 N, and 2100 N, respectively, and the fracture end displacement was recorded. Results were presented as means ± SD. Data with normal distributions were compared by the Student's t test. RESULTS In the static loading test, the axial stiffness, ultimate load, shear displacement, and frontal rotational angle of two fragments were (738.64 vs. 620.74) N/mm, (2957.61 vs. 2643.06) N, (4.67 vs. 5.39) mm, and (4.01 vs. 5.52)° (p < 0.05), respectively. Comparison between the femoral head displacement after 10,000 cycles of 700N cyclic loading and total displacement after 20,000 cycles of 700-1400N cyclic loading showed the OTC group was less than the IETC group (p < 0.05). A comparison of femoral head displacement after 10,000 cycles of 1400N and 2100N cycles and total displacement after 30,000 cycles of 700-2100N cycles showed the OTC group was less than another group, but the difference was not significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION When three CCSs are inserted in parallel to fix FNF, the OTC of three screws has obvious biomechanical advantages, especially in shear resistance and early postoperative weight-bearing, which provides a mechanical basis for clinical selection of ideal spatial configuration for unstable FNF.

Liu J, Zuo Q, Zhou H, Huang X. Comparison of the clinical efficacy of three cannulated screws with parallel distribution and inverted triangular distribution in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly. Exp Ther Med 2023; 26:498. [PMID: 37753292 PMCID: PMC10518655 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2023.12197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of three cannulated screws with parallel distribution in comparison with the 'gold standard' of inverting three cannulated screws with triangular distribution, in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly. A total of 106 elderly patients with femoral neck fractures treated at the Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Jiangsu Provincial Hospital) from October 2018 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into groups A and B. Group A consisted of 51 patients with a mean age of 73.3±6.8 years; and group B consisted of 55 patients with a mean age of 74.5±7.3 years. Group A was treated with closed reduction + inverted triangular distribution of three cannulated screws, while group B was treated with closed reduction + parallel distribution of three cannulated screws, and the general surgical conditions, including fracture reduction quality, fracture healing, incidence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and functional recovery scale (FRS) score of hip joint function were assessed in both groups. All patients were followed up for an average of 14.8 months. Compared with group A, group B had significant advantages in operation time, number of times intraoperative fluoroscopy was performed, number of intraoperative guide wire adjustments, and proportion of postoperative referrals to the intensive care unit (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in fracture reduction quality, fracture healing, incidence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and FRS score of hip joint function between groups A and B (P>0.05). For elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, distributing three cannulated screws in parallel after closed reduction achieved similar clinical efficacy to 'gold standard' inverted triangular distribution, and had obvious advantages in operation time, with significantly reduced surgical difficulty. This procedure is therefore deemed worthy of promotion and clinical application in the primary hospitals of China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robots are being used in a wide range of surgical procedures. However, in clinical practice, the efficacy of orthopedic robotic-assisted treatment of femoral neck fractures is still poorly reported, particularly in terms of screw placement accuracy, femoral neck fracture healing rates and postoperative functional recovery. Moreover, there is a lack of comparative analysis between robot-assisted surgery and traditional surgical approaches. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with femoral neck fractures treated with TiRobot-assisted hollow screw fixation with those of patients with femoral neck fractures treated with traditional surgical approaches. METHODS This study included 112 patients with femoral neck fracture who were treated from March 2017 to October 2021 with percutaneous hollow screw internal fixation. These included 56 cases in the TiRobot-assisted surgery group and 56 cases in the standard surgery group. After at least 1 year of follow-up, the treatment outcomes of the two groups were compared, including the amount of intraoperative bleeding, the duration of intraoperative fluoroscopy, the number of guide pin positioning adjustments, the length of hospital stay, the accuracy rate of screw placement, the final Harris Hip Score, the fracture healing rate, and the rate of femoral head necrosis. Statistical analysis software was used to process and analyze the result. RESULTS The TiRobot-assisted group had a statistically significant improvement over the control group in terms of intraoperative bleeding, the duration of intraoperative fluoroscopy, the number of guide pin positioning adjustments, length of hospital stay, accuracy of screw placement and incidence of femoral head necrosis (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in time to surgery, final Harris hip score and fracture healing rate (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION This study shows that TiRobot-assisted surgery has the advantages of short hospital stay, high safety, minimally invasive, high success rate of nail placement, and can reduce the amount of intraoperative radiation and the incidence of femoral head necrosis, thus achieving satisfactory clinical outcomes, and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unstable femoral neck fractures have a high likelihood of causing severe disruption to the blood supply. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of surgical hip dislocation using a medial support plate combined with cannulated screw fixation for the treatment of unstable femoral neck fractures in young and middle-aged adults. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 68 young adults who underwent internal fixation of unstable femoral neck fractures. The observation group included 32 patients who had received medial support plate and cannulated screw fixation by the surgical hip dislocation method and 36 patients who had undergone anti-rotation screw composite compression system fixation comprised the comparison group. The amount of intraoperative bleeding, surgery duration, fracture recovery time and complications were recorded. The degree of femoral neck shortening and Garden index were assessed using the Zlowodzki method. Additionally, hip functionality was evaluated using the Harris score at 3 and 6 months and at the last follow-up. RESULTS All 68 patients in both groups were followed up for 12-42 months (mean, 22.4 months). The postoperative incision was well-aligned and no inflation was observed. The intraoperative blood loss and surgery duration in the comparison group were longer than those in the observation. Additionally, the observation group had a significantly shorter fracture recovery time and a higher Garden index than the comparison at 6 months postoperatively; however, there was no significant statistical discrepancy between the two groups at the remaining time points. The observation group had higher Harris scores than the comparison at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION Surgical hip dislocation applied to the medial support plate combined with cannulated screw fixation has clinical application value in restoring the stability of femoral neck fractures while facilitating the maintenance of blood flow to the femoral head and neck.

Abstract
Femoral neck fractures (FNF) are the most frequent fractures in the older population and are also of high socioeconomic importance due to the high risk of mortality. The diagnostics are based on the clinical examination and imaging procedures. The classification systems used in the routine clinical practice are oriented towards the prognosis and are therefore a valuable aid in making decisions for the selection of the treatment procedure. Early surgery is decisive for the success of treatment. Older patients (> 60 years) with arthritically damaged hips and a high degree of fracture dislocation benefit from prompt hip replacement (bipolar systems, total hip arthroplasty, dual mobility systems). In contrast, joint-preserving surgery by osteosynthesis is indicated in younger patients with a low degree of dislocation. This article summarizes the clinically relevant aspects of FNF and gives an overview of current treatment strategies with inclusion of the scientific literature.

Abstract
Background There is still a lack of consensus on which internal fixation method can better maintain the stability of femoral neck fractures (FNF), promote fracture healing, and reduce postoperative complications such as femoral head necrosis and nonunion. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the novel dynamic compression locking system (DCLS) versus dynamic hip screw (DHS) in the treatment of FNF. Methods Fifty cases of FNF from July 2018 to February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into DCLS group (26 cases) and DHS group (24 cases). Baseline data, intraoperative and postoperative clinical data, reoperation rate, and Harris score were collected to evaluate the clinical efficacy. Results All patients were followed up for 24 months. All “fractures” were caused by fall. The baseline data of the two groups were comparable (P > 0.05). There weren’t significant differences in the length of hospital stay and mobility after two years postoperatively between the two groups (P > 0.05). The operation time, blood loss, incision length, fluoroscopy times and the degree of femoral neck shortening after two years postoperatively in the DCLS group were significantly less than those in the DHS group (all P < 0.05). Harris score after two years postoperatively in the DCLS group was significantly higher than that in the DHS group (P < 0.05). Although the reoperation rate in the DHS group was slightly higher than that in the DCLS group, it wasn’t statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusions Compared with DHS, DCLS in the treatment of FNF had less surgical trauma, shorter incision length, shorter operation time, lower radiation dose and higher Harris scores. Although the reoperation rate in the DHS group was slightly higher than that in the DCLS group, it wasn’t statistical difference. Further research is needed.
