Patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs) treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) have an almost ten-fold increased risk of dislocation compared to patients undergoing elective THA. The surgical approach influences the risk of dislocation. To date, the influence of differing head sizes and dual-mobility components (DMCs) on the risk of dislocation has not been well studied. In an observational cohort study on 8,031 FNF patients with THA between January 2005 and December 2014, Swedish Arthroplasty Register data were linked with the National Patient Register, recording the total dislocation rates at one year and revision rates at three years after surgery. The cumulative incidence of events was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox multivariable regression models were fitted to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of dislocation, revision, or mortality, stratified by surgical approach.Aims
Methods
The aim of this study was to compare the rate of mortality and
causes of death in Korean patients who undergo surgery for a fracture
of the hip, up to 11 years after the injury, with a control group
from the general population. National cohort data from Korean Health Insurance Review and
Assessment Service – National Sample Cohort were used. A ratio of
1:4 matched patients with a fracture who underwent surgery (3383,
fracture group) between 2003 and 2012, and controls (13 532) were
included. The matches were processed for age, gender, income, and
region of residence. We also undertook analyses of subgroups according
to age and gender. The mean follow-up was 4.45 years (1 to 11).Aims

Background. In a number of disciplines, positive correlations have been reported between volume and clinical outcome. This has helped drive the evolution of specialist centres to deal with complex or high risk medical conditions.
