Multivariate correlation analysis of femoral head necrosis after operation of femoral neck fracture / 中华骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the related factors of femoral head necrosis after internal fixation operation of femoral neck fracture.Methods Clinical data of 524 patients with femoral neck fracture who underwent internal fixation surgery between January 2012 and January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Taking the femoral head necrosis as an observable indicator,the clinical data of postoperative femoral head necrosis and those other patients who were treated at the same period were compared.Whether the clinical factors (gender,age,surgical reduction type,fracture type,quality of reduction,post-injury operation time,loading time after operation,and whether to withdraw internal fixation) were in correlation with postoperative femoral head necrosis was analyzed by univariate analysis.Then the statistically significant indicators were integrated into logistic regression analysis to determine the related factors of femoral head necrosis.Results According to inclusion and exclusion criteria,the study group consisted of 212 cases,including 94 males and 118 females;the follow-up time was 2-5 years,and the average follow-up time was 3.6±1.6 years.There were 46 cases with femoral head necrosis and 166 cases without femoral head necrosis after operation.The rate of femoral head necrosis was 21.7％ (46/212).The femoral head necrosis group included 46 cases with 21 males and 25 females;20 cases below 60 years old and 26 cases above 60 years old;17 cases using open reduction and 29 cases using closed reduction;6 cases belong to type Ⅰ/Ⅱ and 40 cases belong to type Ⅲ/Ⅳ according to Garden classification;16 cases got satisfactory reduction while 30 cases with unsatisfactory reduction;30 cases below 48 h and 16 cases above 48 h on post-injury operation time;17 cases below 3 months and 29 cases above 3 months on post-operation loading time;22 cases with internal fixation removal and 24 cases without internal fixation removal.The femoral head without necrosis group included 166 cases with 73 males and 93 females;84 cases below 60 years old and 82 cases above 60 years old;69 cases using open reduction and 98 cases using closed reduction;120 cases belong to type Ⅰ/Ⅱ and 46 cases belong to type Ⅲ/Ⅳ according to Garden classification;160 cases got satisfactory reduction while 6 cases with unsatisfactory reduction;119 cases below 48 h and 47 cases above 48 h on post-injury operation time;70 cases below 3 months and 96 cases above 3 months on post-operation loading time;74 cases with internal fixation removal and 92 cases without internal fixation removal.Univariate x2 analysis suggested that fracture type and quality of reduction were associated with postoperative femoral head necrosis.Other clinical factors (gender,age,surgical reduction type,post-injury operation time,loading time after operation and whether to remove internal fixation or not) were not associated with postoperative femoral head necrosis.The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed fracture type and quality of reduction were significantly related to postoperative femoral head necrosis.Conclusion Femoral head necrosis after internal fixation operation of femoral neck fracture is affected by many factors.The fracture type and quality of reduction are important factors affecting femoral head necrosis after internal fixation operation of femoral neck fracture.
