    A comparative overview of metatarsal stress fractures in premenopausal and postmenopausal women: our single-centre experience with eighty-one patients
    (Springer, 2020) Güler, Olcay; Cerci, Mehmet Halis
    Purpose To compare the demographic, clinical, and laboratory features of metatarsal bone stress fractures encountered in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Methods This retrospective study was carried out in the orthopaedics and traumatology department of our tertiary care centre. Data were collected from the hospital records of a total of 81 women (average age 42.65 +/- 12.97) allocated in premenopausal (n = 36) and postmenopausal (n = 45) groups. These two groups were compared in terms of age, body mass index, side, and level of the metatarsal stress fracture, serum levels of vitamin D, duration of complaint and treatment, and T-scores of femur and vertebra as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results The average body mass index (BMI) was 27.00 +/- 2.49 kg/m(2)(range 21.8 to 31.2). The right side was involved in 44 cases (54.3%), while the left side was affected in 37 patients. DXA T-scores were significantly high for group 2 for both femur and vertebra (p < 0.001 for both). Two groups did not exhibit any significant differences in terms of BMI, side of the stress fracture, level and location of the fracture, seasonal distribution, smoking habits, comorbidities, serum levels of vitamin D, durations of complaints, and treatment. Conclusion Our results indicated that there was no difference between 2 groups in terms of serum vitamin D levels; however, postmenopausal women had higher T-scores of femur and vertebra. Identification of patients under higher risk for stress fractures and elucidation of the possible role of menopause necessitate further controlled, randomized trials on larger series.

    Comparison of supine and lateral decubitus positions for total hip arthroplasty with the direct lateral approach in overweight and obese patients

    Background. The purpose of our study is to compare the results of supine and lateral decubitus positions for total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the direct lateral (DL) approach in overweight and obese patients. Methods. Patients who had a THA with the DL approach using the lateral decubitus position (LD group) (n=54) or supine position (S group) (n=45) were retrospectively investigated. Demographic characteristics, age, and body mass indexes were calculated. Blood loss of patients, amount of transfusion, Harris Hip Scores (HHSs) (preop, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months), incision size, surgery time, postoperative acetabular cup inclination angle, femoral stem alignment, follow-up period, hospital stay, preoperative-postoperative leg length inequality, and complication rates (infection, wound site problems, and dislocation rates) were compared. Results. Both groups did not differ from each other by means of age, gender, BMI, and affected side (p=0.814, p=0.723, p=0.582, and p=0.833, respectively). The incision length (p<0.001), blood loss (p=0.010), and amount of blood transfused (p=0.002) were significantly higher in the S group than in the LD group. The surgical time was significantly longer in the S group (p<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between the LD and S groups in terms of pre- and postoperative height, cup inclination, stem alignment, duration of hospital stay, and follow-up period. The change between pre- and postoperative HHS in the LD and S groups was statistically significant. Post hoc binary comparison analysis was conducted to investigate the difference between the groups. The values of HHS were significantly increased from the preoperative period to the final follow-up. Conclusions. The LD and S groups had comparable functional outcomes one year postoperatively. However, the S group was associated with worse intraoperative outcomes than the LD group.
