Abstract：Objective To explore whether thoracolumbar spine compression fracture occurs in the elderly patients with hip fracture, and its treatment. X-ray should be listed as a routine examination to avoid missed diagnosis. Methods April 2014-October 2015, 71 patients were retrospectively analyzed. According to the occurrence of thoracolumbar spine compression fracture or not, all patients were divided into 2 groups. Independent Sample T test was conducted. Results were compared. Results Eighteen patients were of the hip fracture + thoracolumbar spine compression fracture, accounting for 25.4% [ significantly higher than the incidence of the osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture ( 1.16% ) ]. Compared with patients with simple hip fracture, no significant differences existed in FIM score(41.79 ± 5.32 vs.42.38 ± 6.65)3 months after the operation(P>0.05).Statistically significant differences existed in VAS scores preoperatively and 1 week postoperatively ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Attention should be paid to whether thoracolumbar spine compression fracture may occur in the elderly patients with hip fracture. Individualized treatment should be performed to improve the life quality.
