Effect of parkinson’s disease on hemiarthroplasty outcomes after femoral neck fractures
Journal of Arthroplasty Apr 28, 2019
Hsiue PP, et al. - Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database, investigators examined the consequences after hemiarthroplasty (HA) for femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in candidates with Parkinson’s disease (PD) as compared to subjects without PD. No difference in the risk of death or any postoperative complications was observed during index hospitalization for both the groups. They noted an inclined risk of hospital readmission and postoperative dislocation in PD patients within 90 days of surgery. Despite no difference in the risk of any revision surgery, revision surgery for fracture, or revision surgery for infection was reported, PD patients also had a higher risk of revision surgery for instability.
