Title :
Inter-Trochanteric Fractures of Hip in The Elderly Treated With Recon Hemi-Arthroplasty Facilitates Early Ambulation
Introduction: Elderly with fractures of hip needing prolonged nursing in bed, though operated, are vulnerable to succumb to co-morbid conditions that may risk life.
Objectives: To operate upon fractures of hip in elderly, associated with high risk conditions with modified hemi-arthroplasty and to mobilize early. Thus, most post operative co-morbidities from prolonged bed rest are overcome.
Methodology: 165 patients, 53 male and 102 female, aged 76 to 97 years in the last 16 years. Comminuted inter-trochanteric fractures associated with age related co-morbidities. Basal osteotomy at neck of fractured femur helps enucleate and deliver the head of femur retaining the fractured inter-trochanteric area. Hemi arthroplasty is then completed thus impacting the fractured inter-trochanteric area. When comminuted and displaced, the lesser trochanter is made to remain impacted as original calcar of femoral neck to maintain neck of femur and length of limb. A harness screw across the fenestration in the stem of implant avoids collapse/sink of implant in porotic femora. Obliquity of fracture does not matter.
Results: Passive and active knee and ankle movements are initiated on first and second post operative days, respectively. Partial weight bear ambulation is encouraged on third day and full weight bearing by 15 days.
Conclusion:Marked and overall fall in complications from age related co-morbid conditions observed. Thus, modified hemi-arthroplasty coined as reconstructive hemi-arthroplasty edges over other modalities of treatment for inter-trochanteric fractures of hip that need longer bed rest in the elderly with co-morbid health constraints.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. Pediatric Forearm Fractures-
Radial and Ulnar Shafts
• Approximately 4% of children’s fractures
• Middle and proximal radius more protected
by musculature than distal
• Ulna subcutaneous and susceptible to
trauma when raised for self protection
• Most fractures are from fall on an
outstretched arm
3. Forearm Developmental
Anatomy
• Primary ossification centers at 8 weeks
gestation in both radius and ulna
• Distal physes provide most of longitudinal
growth
• Distal epiphyses of radius appears
radiographically at age 1, of distal ulna at
age 5
• Proximal and middle radius connected to
ulna by intraosseous membrane
4. Pediatric Forearm Fractures
• Complete
• Greenstick fractures
• Buckle or torus fractures
• Plastic deformation
• Proximal, middle or distal
• Fxs at same level
• Fxs at different level
• Almost always a rotational component
5. Goals of Treatment
• Regain full forearm rotation
• Restore alignment and clinical appearance
• For ADL’s need 50 degrees supination, 50
degrees pronation
8. Remodeling Potential –
Variables to Consider
• Age
• Distance from fracture to physis
• Amount of deformity
• Direction of angulation
• Rotational deformities will not remodel
9. How Much Angulation
is too Much?
• Case by case decisions
• Closed reduction should be attempted for
angulation greater than 20 degrees
• How much to accept before proceeding with
open reduction dependant on many factors
• Angulation encroaching on interosseous
space may be more likely to limit rotation
10. Forearm Rotation Position
in Cast – Supinate, Pronate
or Midposition?
• Depends on location
of fracture and
position of distal
fragment in relation to
proximal
• Match distal fragment
to proximal – can use
bicipital tuberosity as
a guide
11. After Closed Reduction
and Casting -
• Weekly radiographs for 3 weeks to confirm
acceptable alignment and rotation
• overriding (bayonet) position OK
• Can remanipulate up to 3 weeks after injury
for shaft fractures
12. Maintaining Reduction
• Appropriately molded
cast very important
• Easier to maintain an
initial excellent
reduction than a
marginal one
• Above elbow or below
elbow immobilization
– surgeon preference
13. Indications for Open Reduction
• Open fractures
• Inability to maintain
acceptable reduction
• Multiple trauma
• Intramedullary pin
fixation can often be
accomplished with
little soft tissue
disruption
16. Forearm Fractures -
Complications
• Malunion-most common
• Refracture – 5% within 6
months
• Compartment syndrome –
observe closely, diagnosis
and treatment similar to
adults
• Synostosis rare
• Neurologic injury
uncommon
17. Plastic Deformation
of the Forearm
• Fixed bending remains
when bone deformed past
elastic limit
• Most commonly in
forearm, may be ulna or
radius
• Periosteum intact and thus
usually no periosteal
callus
• Can limit rotation
18. Plastic Deformation
• Remodeling not as
reliable
• Significant curvature
that produces clinical
deformity should be
corrected
• General anesthesia
• Considerable force,
slowly applied over a
padded fulcrum
19. Galeazzi Fracture- Radial Shaft
Fracture with DRUJ Injury
• Usually at junction of
middle and distal thirds
• Distal fragment typically
angulated towards ulna
• Closed treatment for most
• Carefully assess DRUJ
post reduction, clinically
and radiographically
20. Galeazzi Equivalent
Radial shaft fracture with
distal ulnar physeal
injury instead of
DRUJ injury
Distal ulnar physeal
injuries have a high
incidence for growth
arrest
22. Distal Radius Fractures
• Most commonly fractured bone in children
• Metaphyseal most frequent, distal radial
physeal second
• Simple falls most common mechanism
• Rapid growth may predispose, with weaker
area at metaphysis
23. Distal Radius Fractures
• Metaphyseal
• Physeal – Salter II
most common
• Torus
• Greenstick
• Complete - Volar
angulation with dorsal
displacement of the
distal fragment most
common
24. Distal Radius Fractures –
Associated Injuries
• Frequently distal ulnar metaphyseal fracture
or ulnar styloid avulsion
• Occasionally distal ulnar physeal injury –
high incidence of growth disturbance
• Median or ulnar nerve injury – rare
• Acute carpal tunnel syndrome can occur,
also rare
26. Displaced Distal Radius
Fractures-Treatment
• Closed reduction usually
not difficult
• Traction (reduce shear),
recreate deformity and
reduce using intact
periosteal hinge
• Immobilize – many
different positions of wrist
and forearm rotation
recommended
• Well molded cast / splint,
above or below elbow
surgeon preference
• 3-4 weeks immobilization
27. “Repeated efforts at reduction do nothing more than
grate the plate away.”
“These injuries unite quickly, so that attempts to
correct malposition after a week are liable to do
more damage to the plate than good.”
Rang, Children’s Fractures 1983.
Treatment Recommendations -
# Reduction Attempts?
28. • No correlation between # reduction attempts and
growth retardation.
• No correlation between post-reduction position and
growth retardation.
• Noted a relationship between fracture type (Aitken
III/S-H IV) and growth arrest.
Aitken, JBJS 1935.
Treatment Recommendations -
# Reductions / Acceptable Alignment?
29. Treatment Recommendations
“An attempt should be made to reduce all
displacements… however, repeated manipulations
or osteotomy are not warranted.”
“Displacement of the epiphysis does not persist. All
displacements are reduced well within a year.”
“The one case of deformity in the series is attributed
to crushing of the physis.”
Aitken, JBJS 1935.
30. Treatment Recommendations
“For Salter-Harris type I and II
injuries in children younger than
10 years of age, angulation of up to
30° can be accepted. In children
older than 10 years, up to 15° of
angulation is generally
acceptable.”
Armstrong et al, Skeletal Trauma, 1998.
31. Displaced Distal
Radius Fractures –
Care after Closed Reduction
• Radiograph within one week to check reduction
• Do not remanipulate physeal fractures after 5-7
days for fear of further injuring physis
• Metaphyseal fractures may be remanipulated for
2-3 weeks if alignment lost
• Expect significant remodeling of any residual
deformity
32. Distal Radius Fractures -
Complications
• Growth arrest unusual
after distal radius
physeal injury
• Malunion will
typically remodel –
follow for one year
prior to any corrective
osteotomy
• Shortening usually not
a problem – resolves
with growth
Remodeling in 8 months
34. Distal Radius – Fixation Options
• Smooth K wire
fixation usually
adequate
• Ex fix for severe soft
tissue injury
• Some fxs amenable to
plate fixation
36. Growth Arrest following
Distal Radius Fracture
Injury films Injured and uninjured wrists
after premature physeal closure
37. Distal Radius Growth Arrest
• Relatively rare
(< 1 – 7%)
• Severity of trauma
• Amount of
displacement
• Repeated attempts at
reduction?
• Remanipulation or late
manipulation?
38. Case Study - P.J.
• 12 days s/p injury
loss of reduction
• 3 weeks s/p
injury
39. Conclusions
• Most common physeal plate injury (46%)
• Increased incidence of growth plate
abnormalities with 2 or more reductions
• Acceptable alignment: 50% apposition
30° angulation
• Accept malreduced fractures upon late
presentation (over 7 days).
• Growth arrest rate up to 7%
40. Carpal Injuries in Children
• Unusual / Uncommon in children
• Scaphoid most commonly fractured carpal
bone
• Capitate / Lunate / Hamate fractures also
can occur
• Make a habit of carefully checking carpal
bones on every wrist film
41. Acute Distal Radius Metaphyseal
Fracture in a 13 year Skateboarder
• Did you note the
scaphoid nonunion ?–
patient gave history of a
fall sustained one year
ago with a “bad wrist
sprain”
43. Scaphoid Fractures - Treatment
• Tender snuff box – immobilize until
tenderness resolves
• If still tender at 1-2 weeks – repeat xray
• Confirmed fracture – if nondisplaced
immobilize in above elbow cast for 6 – 8
weeks
• Displaced fracture - ORIF
44. Hand Fractures
• Metacarpal and phalangeal fractures – if
displaced closed reduction
• Correct angulation and rotation
• Immobilize in intrinsic plus position
• 3-4 weeks
• Indications for ORIF – open fractures,
displaced intraarticular fractures, inability
to obtain / maintain reduction
46. Distal Phalangeal Fractures
• Crush injuries –
address any associated
nail bed injuries
• If open give
appropriate antibiotics,
I&D
• Mallet finger injuries –
often physeal injury
• Closed management
47. Middle and Proximal
Phalangeal Fractures
• Closed management
for majority
• ORIF for displaced
intraarticular fractures
• Restore rotational
alignment
48. Metacarpal Fractures
• Closed management
for most
• Accept less angulation
in index than small
finger
