Reoperations of hip fractures

Abstract

The incidence and type of reoperations after osteosynthesis of cervical and trochanteric femoral fractures in the city of Göteborg, Sweden was studied from 1965 through 1981. The yearly incidence of reoperations decreased for both types of fractures over the years. Reoperations after cervical fractures were frequent, occurring in about 30 per cent. There were few reoperations after trochanteric fractures on the other hand, 3.6 per cent in 1981. Arthroplasties comprised the greatest number of reoperations, with a fairly constant relative frequency of about 18 per cent during the study period.
