Proportion of stable femoral neck fracture types in different age groups: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The treatment and incidence of femoral neck fracture (FNF) in older patients is controversial. We investigated the new AO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthese) classification in patients with FNF by age to determine the proportions of stable fracture and change trends according to patients' age.

Methods

We divided patients with FNF hospitalized in Xi'an Honghui Hospital from 2018 to 2020 into five groups according to age: young (<50 years), middle-aged (50-59 years), young-elderly (60-69 years), middle-elderly (70-79 years), and very elderly (≥80 years) groups. We retrospectively collected data of patients' sex, admission date, fracture side, mechanism of injury, and new AO classification.

Results

In total, 2071 patients were included for analysis, with 13
