BACKGROUND: Impact of concomitant fractures on patients sustaining a proximal femur fracture remains unclear. Rising numbers and patient need for rehab is an important issue. The objective of our study was to investigate the impact of concomitant fractures, including all types of fractures, when treated operatively, for proximal femur fractures on the length of hospital stay, in-house mortality and complication rate.
METHODS: Observational retrospective cohort single-center study including 85 of 1933 patients (4.4%) with a mean age of 80.5 years, who were operatively treated for a proximal femoral and a concomitant fracture between January 2016 and June 2020. A matched pair analysis based on age, sex, fracture type and anticoagulants was performed. Patient data, length of hospital stay, complications and mortality were evaluated.
RESULTS: The most common fractures were osteoporosis-associated fractures of the distal forearm (n = 34) and the proximal humerus (n = 36). The group of concomitant fractures showed a higher CCI than the control group (5.87 vs. 5.7 points; p < 0.67). Patients with a concurrent fracture had a longer hospital stay than patients with an isolated hip fracture (15.68 vs. 13.72 days; p < 0.056). Complications occurred more often in the group treated only for the hip fracture (11.8%, N = 20), whilst only 7.1% of complications were recorded for concomitant fractures (p < 0.084). The in-house mortality rate was 2.4% and there was no difference between patients with or without a concomitant fracture.
CONCLUSIONS: A concomitant fracture to a hip fracture increases the length of hospital stay significantly but does not increase the complication rate or the in-house mortality. This might be due to the early mobilization, which is possible after early operative treatment of both fractures.
