Abstract

Aims: Hip fracture is the most serious complication of osteoporosis and the most disabling type of fracture. In this study, we aimed to compare femoral geometry in hip fractured male patients aged more than 65 years old with age matched controls. Patients and Methods: 20 male patients with a history of nontraumatic hip fracture and 19 age-matched healthy controls were included in this study. Bone mineral density of neck and trochanter of hip were measured by DEXA. In addition to BMD, an experienced radiologist measured proximal femur geometric parameters potentially involved in bone strength. Results: Mean BMDs of trochanteric region were not significantly different between groups, but mean BMDs of neck region were statistically significantly lower in the hip fractured group. Neck shaft angle and femur shaft width were the geometric parameters found to be significantly higher in the hip fractured group. The correlation between femur geometric and the anthropometric measurements was present only in the kontrol group. Conclusion: We concluded that besides femur geometric measurements, correlation between these measurements might be an important factors for the fracture risk.

Özet

Amaç: Kalça fraktürü osteoporozun en önemli ve en fazla sakatlık yaratan komplikasyonudur. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada femoral geometrik ölçümler açısından 65 yaşın üstündeki kalça kırığı geçirmiş erkek hastalar ile cins ve yaş eşleştirilmiş kontrol grubunu kıyaslamayı amaçladık. 20 non-travmatik kalça fraktürü gelişmiş erkek hasta ile 19 kontrol hastası çalışmaya dahil edildiler. Femur boynu ile trokanter kemik mineral yoğunluğu (KMY) ölçümleri Dual Energy Xray Absorbsiometri (DEXA) ile ölçüldü. Deneyimli bir Radyoloji uzmanı tarafından femur geometrik ölçümleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Kalça kırığı gelişen grupta ortalama femur KMY ölçümü istatistiksel olarak daha düşük bulunurken trokanter KMY ölçümü gruplar arasında farklılık göstermemiştir. Boyun shaft açısı ile femur shaft genişliği gruplar arasında anlamlı olarak farklılık gösteren ölçümlerdi. Femur geometrik ölçümleri ile antropometrik ölçümler arasındaki korelasyon sadece kontrol grubunda saptandı. Sonuç: Bu ölçümler arasındaki korelasyonun, femur geometrik ölçümlerinin yanı sıra kırık riski açısından önemli olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. (Osteoporoz Dünyasından 2007;13:15-8)
