Clinical Characteristic & Outcome of Total Hip Replacement in Femoral Neck Fracture Treatment in Sarawak General Hospital

Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most common operative managements for femoral neck fracture for elderly. However, THR of femoral neck fracture is associated with morbidity. We analyzed clinical characteristic and functional outcome of patients 1 year after total hip replacement in femoral neck fracture in SG

DOUBLE-BLINDED PROSPECTIVE TRIAL OF PREGABALIN IN MANAGEMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT PAIN

Total knee replacement is one of the most common elective operations being done nationwide in Orthopaedics department with average cases of 10 – 15 a month in every tertiary hospital in Malaysia. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage” We hypothesized that adding oral pregabalin 150mg one hour prior to surgery and 75mg 12 hourly for subsequent two days will improve the Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and better range of movement of knees with no increase in side-effects in patients post total knee replacemen

Fracture Neck Of Femur - A Local Experience

Hip fractures is one of the commonest in elderly patients with various co-morbidities. The incidence of hip fracture in Malaysia is about 90/100 000 population and commoner in women.1 Mortality rate within six months after femoral neck fracture is reported at about 11-23% and 22-29% at one-year worldwide. Therefore, we evaluate all the neck of femur fracture patients who were admitted for surgery to create a greater understanding of peri-operative risk and possible correlation to post-operative prognosis
