ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between disorders of lipid metabolism and avascular necrosis of femoral head after operation of femoral neck fracture .Methods 160 patients with a diagnosis of fresh femoral neck fractures treated with AO cannulated compressed screws in orthopedic department of our hospital from January 2007 to January 2012 were involved .All the patients were divided into two groups :ANFH or non ANFH group according to the features of femoral head .The levels of blood lipid were examined .Then ,Logistic regression was used to screening risk factors and evaluate the influence of blood lipid factors ac-cording to βrisk factor .Results The levels of TC ,TG ,LDL and Apo B in ANFH group were (5 .99 ± 1 .05)mmol/L ,(2 .63 ± 0 .85)mmol/L ,(4 .16 ± 1 .21)mmol/L ,(0 .99 ± 0 .28)g/L respectively ,which increased remarkably compared with the control group ;while HDL ,Apo A1 levels in the ANFH group were (0 .88 ± 0 .19)mmol/L ,(1 .20 ± 0 .17)g/L ,which was remarkably lower compared with the control group ,and there were statistically significant difference (P=0 .000) .Serum TC and LDL levels were risk factors impacted on postoperative ANFH .Conclusion Postoperative ANFH was related to disorders of lipid metabolism .Serum TC and LDL levels could be diagnostic values on postoperative ANFH .Early control of blood lipid levels may prevent the development of ANFH in patients treated with AO cannulated compressed screws .
