Effect of Recovery Time and Clinical Characteristics on Forensic Disability Assessment of Femoral Neck Fracture
Objective The study examined the relationship between recovery time,clinical characteristics,and disability assessment results for patients with femoral neck fractures caused by traffic accidents.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 100 cases treated in our institution from 2020 to 2022.Patients were categorized into non-operative treatment(n=40)and surgical treatment(n=60)groups.Comparative analysis covered information including recovery time,complication incidence,fracture healing status,femoral head ischemic necrosis rate,joint function recuperation,and disability assessment outcomes.Results Findings revealed that the surgical treatment group[(6.8±1.5)months]exhibited significantly shorter recovery time than the non-operative treatment group[(9.2±2.1)months,P<0.05],along with a lower complication incidence(P<0.05).Although no significant disparity in fracture healing rates was observed between the two groups(P>0.05),the surgical treatment group(30.0%)demonstrated a markedly lower femoral head ischemic necrosis rate compared to the non-operative treatment group(50.0%,P<0.05).Moreover,the surgical treatment group displayed superior joint function recovery,exemplified by a Harris score of 86.7%compared to 57.5%in the non-operative treatment group(P<0.05).Disability assessment outcomes indicated a significant reduction in disability occurrences within the surgical treatment group(P<0.05).Conclusion The impact of recovery time and clinical characteristics on disability assessment for femoral neck fractures due to traffic accidents is closely linked to treatment methods.Surgical intervention proves to be more effective than non-operative approaches in reducing recovery time,mitigating complication incidences,enhancing joint function recuperation,and reducing disability rates.
