Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological characteristics of the intertrochanteric femoral fractures in Urumqi of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are rarely reported. Moreover, there is a lack of the epidemiological survey on the incidence, treatment and short-term prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To study the epidemiological characteristics of the intertrochanteric femoral fractures of the inpatients, so as to provide a scientific basis for strategic study on the prevention and treatment of the intertrochanteric femoral fractures.
METHODS: Clinical data of 618 patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2007 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The patient characteristics, injury time and causes, treatment methods, intraoperative indexes, hospitalization time, hospitalization costs and mortality at 6 months after treatment were collected for analyzing the epidemiological characteristics. SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) There were significant differences in distribution of the intertrochanteric femoral fractures in terms of age and sex (P < 0.05). The amount of patients aged ≥ 61 years was most, accounting for 81.39%. The left side was more than right side (1.04:1). The proportion of male patients was more than female patients (1.01:1). (2) The number of patients increased with time increasing (P < 0.05). Season distribution of injury showed significant difference (P < 0.01), most injured in winner (44.5%). (3) The number of patients from Urumqi accounted for most, 300 cases (48.54%). (4) There was significant difference in the distribution of injury cause (P < 0.05), and slip was the leading cause (78.64%). Distribution of injury cause was significantly different at different ages and sexes (P < 0.05). (5) There was no significant difference in time distribution from injure to surgery in patients with different ages (P > 0.05). (6) Surgery was the predominant management approaches, accounting for 89.32%. At 6 months after surgery, the mortality rate of surgical treatment was significantly lower than that of conservative treatment (P < 0.05). (7) In summary, the distribution of the intertrochanteric femoral fractures of the inpatients has unique characteristics in aspects of age, sex, area distribution, injury causes, injury time, time from injury to surgery, treatment methods, and mortality at 6 months after treatment, which is worthy of further strategic study on prevention and treatment of the intertrochanteric femoral fractures.
