Description
Michail Vavourakis and a team of co-authors study whether a twisted thigh bone after hip fracture surgery hurts recovery. Their study appeared in twenty twenty-four. The twist can occur when a rod is nailed inside the bone to fix a break near the hip.
Seventy-four patients had scans of both hips and knees after surgery. The twist angle was compared with the healthy side. About thirty-one percent had a twist classed as a deformity. The rest had an acceptable angle. Patients were scored on hip function at six months and one year, against their level before the break. Healing, complications, and deaths were also tracked. The study weighs how much the twist matters for daily function after this common operation.
