Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Traumatology
  • Geriatric Medicine

Context:

  • Specialized orthopedic care for 662,000 people in the Siedlce region.
  • Study period: January 1, 1997, to December 31, 1997.
  • Inclusion criteria: osteoporotic fractures (proximal femur, vertebral bodies, distal radius) in patients >50 years; exclusion: high-impact trauma, non-osteoporotic bone pathology.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the treatment outcomes of osteoporotic fractures.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical interventions and rehabilitation.

Summary:

  • 280 osteoporotic fractures were treated: 217 proximal femur (125 trochanteric, 92 neck), 39 distal radius, and 24 vertebral bodies.
  • Surgical methods for proximal femur fractures included Ender intramedullary nailing (108), hemialloplastics (56), and hip screws (19).
  • Distal radius fractures involved 39 patients (29 operated), and vertebral fractures were managed with Jewett braces (21).

Impact:

  • Treatment results support the efficacy of early surgical intervention for osteoporotic fractures.
  • Highlights the importance of intensive pre- and postoperative rehabilitation in patient recovery.
  • Provides data on fracture patterns and treatment modalities in a specific regional population.
