Brief Summary

The effect of preoperative subcutaneous trochanteric fat thickness and trochanteric soft tissue thickness on postoperative infection risk in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture

Conditions

Hip Infection

Keywords

subcutaneous trochanteric fat thickness; infection; femoral neck fracture; soft tissue thickness; obesity; hemiarthroplasty

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Effect of trochanteric fat and soft tissue

  The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of peritrochanteric fat thickness and hip soft tissue parameters on postoperative wound infection in patients with femoral neck fracture. Peritrochanteric fat thickness will be measured on preoperative radiographs along with sourcil to skin surface, greater trochanter tip to skin surface, and lateral greater trochanter to skin surface values. Hip soft tissue assessment will be measured with the parameters of gluteus medius/minus, gluteus maximus, muscle thickness in the anterior and medial compartments on preoperative CT sections.

  Pre-operative

• Wound infection

  Wound infection is assessed using investigator dressings. In assessing surgical wound infection, an ASEPSIS score will be calculated for each patient to standardise for serous exudate, erythema, purulent exudate, deep tissue separation at the wound site.

  First 3 months after surgery
