    Intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients can increase mortality due to complications and negative functional results. The aim of this study is to retrospectively compare the follow-up and mortality rates among patients given a proximal femoral nail (PFN), the current routine treatment for these types of fractures, with those given hemiarthroplasty.The study retrospectively investigated 202 patients over the age of 60 who completed at least 3 years of follow-up after hemiarthroplasty or PFN for intertrochanteric fractures between 2007 and 2012. While 132 patients underwent cemented hemiarthroplasty, 70 had PFN. The monitoring duration for those with PFN surgery was 31.25±1.3 months while the duration of follow-up for those with hemiarthroplasty surgery was 20.0±1.2 months. At the end of 3 years of monitoring of the 202 patients, 99 were deceased. There was a statistically significant difference found in terms of patient life expectancy between those with PFN and those with hemiarthroplasty; Cox regression analysis identified that the mortality rate of those with hemiarthroplasty was 5.1 times greater.As a result, patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty should be carefully chosen and if possible, PFN should be preferred. © 2016, Acta Orthopædica Belgica.

    Vancomycin-resistant enterococci infection in the orthopedic and traumatology clinic
    (Anatolian Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2015) Pazarci, Orhan; Gölge, Umut Hatay; Kilinç, Seyran; Şahintürk, Mehmet; Bulut, Okay; Öztemur, Zekeriya; Öztürk, Hayati
    Our study aimed to identify the incidence of patients with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization in the orthopedics and traumatology clinic and to present an approach for these patients. The anal swab samples of 781 patients applying to and inpatient in the orthopedic and traumatology clinic from August 2013-December 2013, taken by the infection control committee under the auspices of the VRE infection surveillance program, were investigated. Of the 781 samples investigated, 14 patients (1.79%) were found to have VRE colonization. In 4 patients there was a history of diabetes mellitus, 5 patients had dirty wounds and 5 patients had repeated inpatient stay and surgery history. Cultures taken from the patients produced E. species and E. casseliflavus/gallinarum. In Turkey, the first vancomycin-resistant E. faecium strain was reported from Akdeniz University in 1998. Since this date, VRE is encountered more and more often in the hospital environment. Resistant bacteria easily propagate in the hospital environment and this increases the possibility of colonization and infection incidence. Early identification of resistant enterococci colonization in inpatients is important for control of enterococcal infections. As a result, we believe identifying patients in the risk group may reduce VRE infections. © 2015, Anatolian Journal of Clinical Investigation. All rights reserved.
