Aims

The primary aim of this prognostic study was to identify baseline factors associated with physical health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients after a femoral neck fracture. The secondary aims were to identify baseline factors associated with mental HRQL, hip function, and health utility.

Patients and Methods

Patients who were enrolled in the Fixation using Alternative Implants for the Treatment of Hip Fractures (FAITH) trial completed the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, and EuroQol 5-Dimension at regular intervals for 24 months. We conducted multilevel mixed models to identify factors potentially associated with HRQL.

The results of a prospective multicentre study of the Herbert differential pitch bone screw used to treat 50 scaphoid fractures and non-unions are presented. All fresh fractures and four of the five fracture-dislocations united, an overall union rate of 92%. Although the technique is demanding, the Herbert screw can achieve excellent results in the management of scaphoid fractures.
