Safety and Efficacy of Using Fracture Tables for Prosthetic Hip Dislocations.

ABSTRACT: The incidence of prosthetic hip dislocation continues to increase because of the overall increase in volume of total hip replacement surgery. Closed reduction is often the preferred treatment, particularly in the first few months after surgery. No matter the closed reduction technique, linear traction is a requirement, thus posing a physically demanding stress opening both surgeon and patient to potential injury. We describe a fracture table closed reduction technique along with outcomes and safety data for a sample of patients. In all 10 reduction procedures, reduction was achieved quickly and without fracture or anesthetic complication. The use of a fracture table for reduction of prosthetic hip dislocation is a viable option, particularly when the surgeon may not have the physical requirements and/or qualified assistance necessary for reduction in the emergency department.

Project description:ObjectiveThe present meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous application of tranexamic acid (TXA) with placebo in patients with hip fracture undergoing hip surgeries.MethodsPubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library were searched from inception until March 2018. A combined searching strategy of subject words and random words was adopted. Only randomized clinical trials were included. The comparisons regarding transfusion rate, total blood loss, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative blood loss, postoperative haemoglobin and postoperative thromboembolic complications were conducted. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3, and the bias evaluation was based on the Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0.ResultsTen randomized controlled trials published from 2007 to 2018 were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences in the two groups concerning transfusion rate of allogeneic blood [risk ratio (RR) = 0.66, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.56 to 0.78, P = 0.003], total blood loss [mean difference (MD) = -273.00, 95% CI: -353.15 to -192.84, P < 0.00001], intraoperative blood loss (MD = -76.63, 95% CI: -139.55 to -13.71, P = 0.02), postoperative blood loss (MD = -125.29, 95% CI: -221.96 to -28.62, P = 0.01) and postoperative haemoglobin (MD = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.38 to 1.22, P = 0.0002). Nonsignificant differences were found in the incidence of thromboembolic events (RR = 1.38, 95% CI: 0.74 to 2.55, P = 0.31).ConclusionsThis meta-analysis of the available evidence implies that the intravenous route of TXA shows an ability to reduce transfusion requirements and total blood loss, not increasing the incidence of thromboembolic events in patients undergoing hip surgeries.The translational potential of this articleThe result of this meta-analysis shows that the utilization of intravenous TXA in patients with hip fracture undergoing hip surgeries possesses great potential in reducing blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion safely.
