Effect of Femoroacetabular Impingement on Hip Fractures

Abstract

AIM: The aim of this study is to find out if there is a relationship between femoroacetabular syndrome and the risk of hip fractures that have been known with high morbidity and mortality rates. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Between January 1st of 2015 and January 1st of 2020, data of 243 patients with intertrochanteric fracture, 126 patients with femoral neck fracture and 250 trauma patients of over 65 years old that had admitted to our hospital’s emergency department but had no fracture on both pelvis AP x-ray and pelvis CT, were evaluated retrospectively. While central edge angle, acetabular index and singh index were measured on AP x-ray of pelvis, alfa-angle, anterior offset and anterior offset ratio were measured on pelvis CT. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between the groups forming the hip fracture and the control group in terms of gender, age and Singh index, indicating that these factors were homogeneously distributed between the groups and had no effect on the factors investigated (p>0.05). The central edge angle, acetabular index, alpha angle, anterior offset and anterior offset ratio were found to be significantly different (p
