Journal ArticleDOI
General versus regional anaesthesia for hip fracture surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized trials.
TL;DR: It is concluded that there are marginal advantages for regional anaesthesia compared to general anaesthesia for hip fracture patients in terms of early mortality and risk of deep vein thrombosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of proximal femoral fractures 2011: Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland.
R. Griffiths,J Alper,A Beckingsale,D Goldhill,G Heyburn,J. Holloway,E Leaper,Martyn J. Parker,Stephanie Ridgway,Stuart M. White,M Wiese,I Wilson +11 more
TL;DR: There should be protocol‐driven, fast‐track admission of patients with hip fractures through the emergency department, according to a report published in JAMA Oncology 2.1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Projected incidence of proximal femoral fracture in England: a report from the NHS Hip Fracture Anaesthesia Network (HIPFAN).
Stuart M. White,R. Griffiths +1 more
TL;DR: The evaluation and implementation of cost-effective preventive and therapeutic strategies in the short term may help to ameliorate the future financial burden of PFF, and, more importantly, improve the outcome and quality of life for the elderly after fracture.
Reference EntryDOI
Nerve blocks (subcostal, lateral cutaneous, femoral, triple, psoas) for hip fractures
TL;DR: It is not possible to determine if nerve blocks confer any significant benefit when compared with other analgesic methods as part of the treatment of a hip fracture, but further trials with larger numbers of patients and full reporting of clinical outcomes would be justified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nottingham Hip Fracture Score: longitudinal and multi-centre assessment
Iain K. Moppett,Martyn J. Parker,R. Griffiths,T. Bowers,Stuart M. White,Christopher G. Moran +5 more
TL;DR: The Nottingham Hip Fracture Score, with an updated equation, is a robust predictor of 30 day mortality after hip fracture repair in geographically distinct UK centres.
