Hubungan Morfometri Tulang Proksimal Femur dengan Jenis Fraktur Tulang Proksimal Femur pada Populasi Perempuan Usia Lanjut di RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan Tahun 2017 – 2022

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Fractures of the femur are common in elderly patients and are often associated with increased mortality rates. Morphometry of the proximal femur can be utilised to predict the risk factors for proximal femur fractures. METHODS: This study is an observational analytical research aimed at investigating the relationship between the morphometry of the proximal femur bone and the type of proximal femur bone fracture in an elderly female population. The morphometric variables measured in this study are hip axis length (HAL), femoral head diameter (FHD), femoral neck length (FNL), femoral neck diameter (FND), horizontal offset (HO), and femoral neck shaft angle (FNSA). RESULTS: This study have a final sample size of 75. Out of 75 research samples, the Hip Axis Length (HAL) has an Eta test value of 0.264. The Femoral Head Diameter (FHD) has an Eta test value of 0.162. The Femoral Neck Diameter (FND) has an Eta test value of 0.276. The Femoral Neck Length (FNL) has an Eta test value of 0.277. The Horizontal Offset (HO) has an Eta test value of 0.277. The Femoral Neck Shaft Angle (FNSA) has an Eta test value of 0.488. CONCLUSION: There is a weak correlation between the morphometry of hip axis length, femoral neck diameter, length, and horizontal offset of the proximal femur with proximal femur fractures with moderate correlation between the morphometry of the femoral neck shaft angle of the proximal femur and the type of proximal femur fracture. Morphometry of the proximal femur can be a method to judge and predict the type of proximal femur fracture, and from there to determine the course of action and prepare accordingly to optimize treatment.
