Association of Computer-Assisted Virtual Preoperative Planning With Postoperative Mortality and Complications in Older Patients With Intertrochanteric Hip Fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures are unsatisfactory. Computer-assisted virtual preoperative planning may provide an opportunity to solve this treatment dilemma. Virtual preoperative planning is a technique based on dynamic 3-dimensional computed tomographic imaging, which allows precise evaluation of fracture details and simulation of reduction of fracture and internal fixation procedures before surgery is performed.

Objective

To evaluate the association of computer-assisted virtual preoperative planning with the risk of 90-day all-cause mortality and postoperative complications.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study was conducted from using patient data from a level 1 trauma cen
