Multivariate models demonstrating associations with re-operation following a subtrochanteric fracture
| Adjusted OR (95% CI) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|
| Age < 75 years old | 3.00 (1.42–6.33) | 0.004 |
| Type of nail (long Gamma nail) | 2.44 (1.18–5.03) | 0.016 |
| Coxa-vara femoral neck shaft anglea | 4.77 (1.31– 17.4) | 0.018 |
| Reduction angleb of > 10° varus | 4.62 (1.30–16.45) | 0.018 |
| Fracture-related infection | 10.65 (1.76–64.41) | 0.010 |
| Non-union | 17.36 (8.19–36.81) | < 0.001 |
aFemoral neck shaft angle: pre-injury angles, assumed to be the same and measured from the opposite uninjured hip. In cases of bilateral fractures, measurements were taken from the radiographs closest to the date of injury
bReduction angle: measured in the immediate post-operative period
