Description
Besart Tara led a 2026 retrospective study of kidney injury after surgery for broken upper femurs in older adults. Neck fractures were treated with a joint replacement, while fractures between the trochanters were fixed with internal hardware, and the team compared how often kidneys failed.
Records for 1554 patients at one major trauma centre were reviewed. Kidney injury appeared in 22.6% of cases, mostly at the mildest stage, while injury needing dialysis stayed rare at 1.48% in the reported figures. Low filtration rate on arrival raised risk, and injury linked to longer intensive care stays and more deaths, with no clear gap between fracture types.
