Abstract

We read with great interest the article “Early Mortality Rates and Types of Surgery in Geriatric Patients with Hip Fractures Undergoing Surgical Treatment” prepared by Özel et al, published in the first issue of your journal in 2024. We would like to thank the authors and the editorial board for the article revealing the relationships between mortality within 30 days after surgery and fracture incidence, implant type and surgical timing in patients older than 65 years who developed hip fractures after a simple fall and were treated surgically. Furthermore, we would like to touch upon a few points to contribute to the discussion of mentioned study and give readers a different perspective.

Abstract

Özel ve arkadaşları tarafından hazırlanan ve derginizin 2024 yılında ilk sayısında yayınlanan “Kalça Kırıklı Geriatrik Hastalarda Cerrahi Tedavi Uygulanan Erken Ölüm Oranları ve Cerrahi Tipleri” başlıklı makaleyi büyük bir ilgiyle okuduk. Basit bir düşme sonucu kalça kırığı gelişen ve cerrahi olarak tedavi edilen 65 yaş üstü hastalarda ameliyat sonrası 30 gün içindeki mortalite ile kırık insidansı, implant tipi ve cerrahi zamanlama arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya koyan makale için. yazarlarına ve yayın kuruluna teşekkür ederiz. Ayrıca söz konusu çalışmanın tartışmasına katkı sağlamak ve okuyuculara farklı bir bakış açısı kazandırmak amacıyla birkaç noktaya değinmek istiyoruz.
