Purpose This is a retrospective case–control study to ascertain the factors influencing
nosocomial infection (NI) in elderly patients with hip fractures. Methods A total of 80,174 …

Background older patients with hip fractures are arbitrarily classified as octogenarians,
nonagenarians and centenarians. We have designed this study to quantify in-hospital …

We aimed to identify the risk factors associated with an extended length of hospital stay
(eLOS) in older hip-fracture patients and to explore the relationships between eLOS and …

Aim Among older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, previous studies have shown a
seasonal variation of in‐hospital surgical complications. However, little is known about …

Introduction Despite modern approaches to open fracture management, fracture-related
infection (FRI) rates remain high. Recent studies demonstrated the seasonal and regional …

Background: Traditionally, varicose vein treatment is predominately performed during the
colder seasons. However, data whether higher outdoor temperatures affect the outcome …

Background Proximal femoral fractures in older adults affect prognosis, quality of life and
medical expenses. Therefore, identifying patients with an elevated risk for proximal femoral …

Background For displaced femoral neck fractures (FNF), total hip arthroplasty (THA) or
hemiarthroplasty (HA) is preferred rather than fracture fixation. THA for patients with FNF …

Background: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a highly successful surgical intervention, but a
subset of patients will experience postoperative complications—with some cases even …

Purpose Early hip fracture surgery in elderly patients is recognized as a positive prognostic
factor. When applied as an intervention, it does not always reduce overall patient mortality. A …
