CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) - Guinea's president survived an assassination attempt Tuesday after gunmen encircled his home overnight and pounded it with heavy-artillery, throwing into doubt the stability of the country's first democratically elected government in a part of the world that has long been ruled by the gun.
President Alpha Conde was awoken by the shooting, which erupted around his residence between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. A rocket-propelled grenade landed inside the compound, destroying a part of the house, and one of his bodyguards was killed while several others were wounded, said Francois Louceny Fall, a minister at the presidency who acts as Conde's chief of staff.
The 73-year-old Conde later addressed the nation on state radio, saying his security detail had "heroically fought starting at 3:10 a.m. until reinforcements arrived." He urged the population to remain calm and said the attack would not derail the promises he made to voters seven months ago when he became the first democratically elected leader in Guinea's 52-year history.
Just hours later, shooting broke out again near his home and residents said they saw the red-beret-wearing presidential guard take fighting positions. While it remains unclear who was behind the first coordinated attack, the second was led by a fighter dubbed 'De Gaulle' who was a bodyguard of the country's former military strongman and who was arrested at the scene, said Fall.
"If your hand is in the hand of God, nothing can happen to you. ... Our enemies can try everything, but they will not stop the march of the Guinean people," Conde said in his address. "Guinea is one country. We are united, for we cannot grow if we are not united. Let us not accept to be divided."
Soldiers fanned out across this capital city located on a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean on Africa's western coast. They tied ropes between trees at intersections, and traffic was at a standstill as each car was stopped and drivers were told to open their trunks. Military helicopters circled overhead. Shops and schools were closed.
Tens of millions of dollars were invested by the international community to ensure last year's transparent vote, and a coup would be a major setback for the region, analysts say.
"It just shows the fragility of the country," said Guinea-based election expert Elizabeth Cote of the International Foundation for Election Systems, who worked for years overseeing voter registration and training of poll workers ahead of last year's election. "It's hard to brand what just happened, but hopefully it can be a wake-up call," she said.
Until last year, Guinea was one of the continent's failed states, a country with an abominable human rights record whose destiny was determined not by the ballot box but by the mood of officers inside the capital's barracks.
The first coup in 1984 brought a colonel who ruled until his death 24 years later. After his death in 2008, another coup brought an army captain to power known for his frightening temper and his taste for televised interrogations of opponents. Capt. Moussa 'Dadis' Camara was deposed a year later when his bodyguard shot him in the head.
In between, the captain's men led a massacre of pro-democracy protesters whose bodies were buried in mass graves, according to Human Rights Watch. Women who had dared question military rule were gang-raped by soldiers who silenced their cries by stuffing their red berets in their mouths.
De Gaulle, the soldier arrested in the second attack on the president's home, is Camara's former bodyguard.
It took the world by surprise when the general who then seized power in the final month of 2009 agreed to hand over the country to civilians in elections organized in November.
It should have been a proud moment, but the vote itself was marred by days of ethnic violence pitting Conde's supporters - who are Malinke like him - against the Peul, the ethnic group of the defeated candidate.
Frustration has grown since then because Conde has failed to create an inclusive government, instead stacking it with members of his ethnicity, and because the country's grinding poverty has not yet been alleviated.
The fact that most people live in poverty in Guinea is a source of dark irony because the nation is rich in iron, gold, diamonds and has the world's largest supply of bauxite, the raw material used to make aluminum.
Country watchers had long predicted that holding a democratic vote would be only a first step in ending the army's stranglehold on Guinea. The bigger question is how the new leader relates to the military, whose members had total control of state affairs and who saw their privileges diminished by the election of a civilian president.
In Paris, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe spoke by telephone Tuesday with Conde to express France's support for him. "The return of democracy to Guinea ... constitutes an example for Africa," a Foreign Ministry statement said.
Political insiders say that Conde's relationship with the military is strained and that the ethnic tensions that were revealed by the vote are only getting worse. Among the first people to be fired when Conde won the election was the head of the army, Gen. Nouhou Thiam, a Peul. On Tuesday, a military official who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media confirmed that Thiam had been arrested and taken in for questioning.
"Military violence is something that deeply frightens us," said Sidya Toure, who came in third in last year's vote. "We lived through this in '08, and again in '09. What it shows is that apparently there is a problem. There are things that remain unfinished."

The only thing missing is the rubber duckie. Bathroom by Jane Cameron Architects.
Is it possible to fall in love with a powder room? A bedroom yes. A kitchen definitely but a small room with a toilet and a sink? You bet! Hawthorne House by AM Architecture.
"The design brief was simple:- Fit enough appliances in that would service a small commercial kitchen; cater for a family of five that entertain a LOT, a ten seater table was a MUST! Make it stylish with no visible appliances ..."
A clever kitchen design from Darren Genner and Minosa Design. A sixth floor apartment, a small space, and the need to find a home for 13 small appliances. Yes, 13. The solution? A bank of storage over 7 m with a "pop and slide" door system to conceal the wall ovens and steamer, cabinet for all those small appliances, a second appliance cabinet with tea/coffee making facilities and breakfast supplies and an ingenious scullery. And, of course, the dining table. Understated and yet bold. With the click of a remote and a flick of the wrist it extends from 8 seats to 12. Talk about a show stopper.

5:30 to 6 weeknights on Discovery
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
When random passengers step into Beth Melewski's unmarked cab, interior disco lights start flashing and Melewski explains that they've stumbled into a game show.
"You'd be surprised how few people go, 'I'm going to be on TV!'" Melewski says. "The biggest reaction is usually, 'Oooh, a woman cab driver!'"
The new "Cash Cab Chicago," debuting Monday on Discovery, follows the New York installment weeknights, with the same concept: Contestants must answer trivia questions for cash as Melewski drives them to their destination. If they miss three questions, they're ejected from the vehicle — no matter where they are.
"I think weather has been kind of a hilarious factor," Melewski says. There are no consolation parting gifts of umbrellas or boots.
A typical $50 "easy" question: "Created in 1905, a hand-drawn rendering of Staten Island was the very first map produced by what famous car club?"
Did you come up with "AAA"? No? Then you might elect to call a friend to answer, or beg a stranger on the street to help (almost never a good idea).
If texting and driving is a bad idea, game-show hosting and driving is even more difficult. But Melewski is proud of her driving record. "I tapped a valet sign once," she admits.
Before filming, she had to pass taxi certification tests. "It was really the hardest thing I've ever had to study for," she says. "It's a tough process. Be nice to your cab drivers because they went through hell. And tip well."
It's thoroughly entertaining to watch a group of hipsters en route to Schubas trying to come up with the names of seven founding fathers. But any humiliation is minimal.
"There's nothing really negative about the show," Melewski says. "You pick people up, and they can win money. It's such a basic, amazing premise. People either haven't heard of the show, or they absolutely love it. It's all about feeling good and rewarding people for knowledge."
Melewski left Second City's e.t.c. stage for three months to tape 40 episodes. She couldn't resist. "I got to stay in town and shoot a national television show," she says. "That never happens. Put some more icing on that cake."
Now that the show's wrapped, though, she'll be back at Second City to perform the show she co-wrote, "The Absolute Best Friggin' Time of Your Life."
"I'll be there till the beginning of April," Melewski says.
Despite rattling off question after question for months, Melewski says she retained "just nuggets" of information. But that doesn't mean she didn't learn anything.
"You never can tell when a person gets in the cab if they're going to go all the way or jump out after the first three questions," Melewski says. "Every time I try to make a judgment, I'm wrong. Profiling? It doesn't work."

Zenit vs Liverpool Preview, Team News, Likley Line-ups & Predicted Score
Liverpool are in Russia to take on Zenit St Petersburg in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie on Thursday evening (kick off 5pm GMT).
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has named a strong 20-man squad for the game with the likes of Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Glen Johnson, Pepe Reina, Lucas Leiva and Daniel Agger all making the trip, despite being rested during previous rounds of the competition.
The Merseysiders will be looking to bounce back having slumped to a disappointing 2-0 loss to West Brom on Monday night at Anfield, with Steven Gerrard's penalty miss with the score still at 0-0 proving vital.
This will be the first time Liverpool have played Zenit in Europe and the Russian's may be slightly rusty having not played a competitive game since December due to the winter break in the Russian League. They have however tried to maintain match sharpness by playing a number of friendlies in recent weeks.
Zenit have a formidable recent record in Europe having lost only one of their last 19 games, so will be looking to extend that record and take a vital lead heading into the second leg at Anfield.
Team News
Brendan Rodgers is expected to name a near full-strength side after taking all his star names on the long trip to Russia. Captain Steven Gerrard is likely to be given a rare Europa League start along with Luis Suarez, who will start up front.
Martin Skrtel may return to the starling line-up to face his former side after being benched for the last three games. Jamie Carragher is likely to make way with Skrtel expected to renew his partnership with Agger at the back.
The only notable names not available are January signings Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho who are both ineligible having already played in Europe for Chelsea and Inter Milan this season.
Zenit's only major injury worry is over Russia international Aleksandr Kerzhakov who faces a race against time to be fit to start in attack.
Likely Line-ups
Predicted Score
Russia is never an easy place for Premier League sides to visit and big-spending Zenit are going to be tough opposition this evening. I think Liverpool would take a draw before the game and I can see them getting one, as well as a vital away goal. Zenit 1-1 Liverpool

Parents search for a way to honor their son
Aaron Shacklette (shown on a mission trip in Jamaica) loved lacrosse. A scholarship pays tribute to the young man, who died last year after a wreck.

AARON Shacklette loved
Shacklette, a well-known and much-loved 2008 graduate of Stafford High School, died in May from injuries sustained in a car accident while on his way home from college.
His parents, Rick and Cynthia Shacklette, have established the Aaron M. Shacklette ShackLax Memorial Scholarship Fund not only to honor their son, but to further the sport he loved so much. The scholarship, to be administered through the Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region, will be open to any lacrosse player from the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George and Caroline, as well as the city of Fredericksburg. Anyone who wants to honor Aaron or is interested in promoting the sport of lacrosse can contribute to the fund.
Rick Shacklette says Aaron first picked up a lacrosse stick during his freshman year of high school. He chuckles when he remembers how Aaron walked around practicing "cradling."
"He used to walk around doing the thing they do with the stick, he broke a picture on the wall in the house here," he says.
Aaron kept practicing until he got to be pretty good. Shacklette says Aaron was never a big star but simply loved the game and the brotherhood he felt with all lacrosse players, along with his own teammates.
Aaron's dad says he had friends on practically every team throughout the Commonwealth District and beyond. He played on the off-season tournament squad from Mountain View and in year-round Bones Leagues.
Aaron was enthusiastic about trying to grow the sport of lacrosse in the Stafford area. He used to tell his dad, "By my senior year, they're going to pack the stands, like at football games."
"Of course, it didn't happen," said Shacklette. "Lacrosse is not quite here yet. You go to Albe-marle and there's a lot of turnout. Parents tailgate. I've always felt like there should be something

WASHINGTON - Nearly $300 million in defense department funds will come to the region to help with Defense Base Closure and Realignment-related transportation fixes.
One of the areas that stand to benefit the most is the National Medical Center in Bethesda.
Nearby intersections will be improved and the Medical Center Metro station will be able to handle more traffic.
"We're not going to get rid of traffic, but we are going to help cars and people move through the area a little better," says Phil Alperson, Montgomery County's BRAC coordinator.
Alperson says congestion around the medical center could get worse.
"The transition really hasn't fully kicked in as far as military families who are going to be using the hospital," he says.

YOUTHS setting deliberate fires at a historic castle could kill themselves, a concerned resident said.
Jack Reece, of Flint, said fires had been started around Flint Castle several times in the past two weeks – and he had seen youngsters spraying blazes with what he believes was petrol.
Mr Reece said while walking his dogs, he saw the fire brigade had to attend the castle on Sunday to put out fires started by youths.
He said: "They could have killed themselves – it won't be long before they end up setting themselves on fire.
"They were right on top of the fire spraying petrol out of a bottle onto the fire."
Mr Reece said deliberate fires had been set right next to the 13th century castle, as well as in woodland next to the fort.
He said: "They have really been plaguing the area.
"They have been causing damage to the castle and the woods for a couple of weeks.
"The police and fire service have also put up signs to tell them to stop doing it and that they know who they are.
"Lets hope that when they are dealt with, they learn the dangers of petrol and setting fires and learn some respect for our town's landmarks and woods."
A spokesman for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said they had been called twice on Sunday, once on Thursday, April 24 and once on Monday, April 21.
The North Wales' Arson Reduction Team has been monitoring an emerging deliberate fire problem in Flint for the past few weeks.
Kevin Jones, the arson reduction team manager for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Deliberate firesetting incidents put extra pressure on fire and rescue resources and place crews and the public at extra risk. Whilst crews are busy dealing with these incidents they would not be able to meet what may be a real need for them to attend a life threatening situation elsewhere in the county.
"Deliberate fires are a serious form of anti-social behaviour with potentially lethal consequences and we are working closely with the police and other partner agencies in the area to try and tackle the problem.
"I would appeal to anyone with information on such activities to report it to North Wales Police on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
In the coming weeks, PCSOs will be attending high schools in Flint to deliver messages to pupils.
A spokesman for North Wales Police said: "We were called at 8.31pm on Sunday, May 4, to reports of youths lighting fires at the castle grounds.
"Police visited the scene and there was no signs of any damage.
"There were similar reports at around 6.30pm on Saturday of youths lighting a fire in the grounds of the castle.
"Police found some burnt bits of windfall branches but no damage and no damage to trees.
"No arrests were made."

Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office are still looking for a suspect in the death of a Lafayette man who came to a neighbor's help during a burglary on August 26, 2012.
Deputies say Clement Amos III was shot and killed when he went next door to check on his neighbor, who feared someone was trying to break into her home, while his wife called police.
Deputies believe at some point Amos encountered the suspect, who shot and killed him before running off.
The suspect is still on the run. He's described as a black male, about 6 feet tall, thin build, with very short hair and gold teeth on top.
If you have any information, call crimestoppers at 232-tips.

As for our president, Barack Obama, others may disagree with me, but I persist in seeing him as a man amongst these boys.
Is the media's excessive interest in personal scandal really at the root of the superficiality and viciousness of today's politics? I'm not convinced. Yes, tabloid-style coverage is a problem, but I see much bigger factors at play
The storyline has long been that Hart challenged the press to follow him around and, in the post-Watergate spirit of enterprising investigative journalism, the press did just that, fearlessly uncovering, well, er, what?
The trouble with journalists appearing as themselves in entertainment is that the public already has difficulty discerning fact from fiction in the news. When real reporters allow themselves to be part of fiction, it costs them their credibility.
NEW YORK -- When New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson was in negotiations this past summer to keep stats guru Nate Silver at the paper, his a...
Veteran New York Times political writer Matt Bai joins Yahoo News.
By every indication, President Obama has tried to negotiate grand bargain deficit deals with Speaker Boehner. And twice, Boehner, not the president, walked away from the negotiating table.
Many of you saw Matt Bai's recent profile of Ohio in the Sunday Times magazine section. To summarize it crudely, Bai explores this question: Ohio is c...

President Obama and Speaker Boehner understood the parameters of a solution and came remarkably close to a deal. The solutions are not difficult to imagine, just the willingness of our leaders to embrace them, and their followers to follow.
Nothing in nihilism's long intellectual history has prepared the world for its latest incarnation as the 21st century Republican party, or in its ultimate flowering in the likes of Mitt Romney and Herman Cain.
Perhaps mainstream media reporters are feeling threatened in their own jobs, but that is no reason to turn on the few people who still have some modicum of economic security in this country.
A legendary film captured the battle over the soul of news and the women and men who delivered it.
And if we're going to have the civility conversation, it would be nice if commentators avoided resorting to the mindless meme that "both sides" are equally responsible for the ugly, over-heated rhetoric that is now so commonplace.
Yes, there are people who called Bush a "modern Hitler," or believed he had some role in the 9/11 attacks. Those people are generally not given talkshows, and cannot be found in positions of power in the Democratic Party.
If there's one thing you can still count on from today's increasingly erratic politics, it is pure unadulterated paradox. One could say the Washington circus features as many morons as oxymorons.
Today's "journalists," like Matt Bai of the New York Times, see no difference between themselves and those they serve. Indeed, when they hear the term "political elites" -- they now see themselves in the mirror.
If the president can let go of his attachment to his postpartisan self-image and embrace the policies Americans want and need, they can be his North Star. But he needs to get over his reflexive distaste for the "old dogma" of the "left."
The Blue Dogs are right about campaign strategy in some conservative districts -- but they greatly overstate their case. Granularity is usually lost in our political narrative, and the numbers suggest subtle, diverging politics.
The conservative wing of the Democratic Party just drove it over a cliff, but you'd never know if from reading Matt Bai's latest New York Times piece.
Social Security is in surplus until 2037. Yet the idea that the road to recovery leads through cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and other social outlays that are keeping the depression from worsening, if anything, is gaining traction among opinion elites.
It's hard not to be impressed by the science-fiction weirdness of that "giant milk cow" image, which seems like a mashup of The Matrix and Babe. But the fact that he spews abuse is less of a problem than his lack of comprehension.
Is the "only potent grassroots" populist movement on the right? Is populism for Democrats a dead strategy? Being a student of history, and an active participant in movement politics right now, I think it is important to make a few points here.

Blood in the Urine (Hematuria) (cont.)
Blood in the Urine Prognosis
The prognosis, or outlook, for blood in the urine depends on the cause. Many causes of blood in the urine, such as medications, minor trauma, or kidney stones are temporary and do not have long-term effects. Many causes of hematuria have an excellent prognosis. UTIs have a good prognosis for most people and are treatable. Cancers of the urinary tract may have a good prognosis if detected early. The overall prognosis for urinary tract cancers depends on the exact type of cancer and the extent to which it has spread at the time of diagnosis.

Despite $774,000 grant, TEAM still closing program, will try to find new staff
Andy, Charman's statement does NOT match what board of directors meetings are telling parents and others. There is a great deal of confusion. I suggest you follow the money -- your specialty. There is something very wrong here. I also suggest that you contact board members as a follow up. They are not aware that TEAM is closing, as I said above. --Kim Printz

By Bad Man | Follow on Twitter
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood lawyer/attorney Skip Brittenham has united with comic artist Brian Haberlin to create a sci-fi graphic novel titled Anomaly, which will be published by the newly-formed transmedia company Anomaly Productions. Wait a second, Skip who?
I've never heard of this guy, but clearly he's some hot shit because a film adaptation is also in development, to be produced by Alice In Wonderland's Joe Roth (If you didn't see it, I'll spare you the agony; it was shit!). Actually I went and googled Brittenham (the curiosity got the better of me). Turns out he's one of the most powerful entertainment attorneys in the country. Oh. Suddenly it all makes sense.
According to CBM The Anomaly GN will be released this October as a: 370-page, lushly painted hardcover, claimed to be "the longest original graphic novel ever published". Also, there will be a tablet app narrated by top sci-fi and video game actors, as well as an augmented reality app for iOS and Android (which involves interactive 3D and holographic technology).
The story of Anomaly is "set in 2717, where humans have colonized the galaxy and one corporation plunders the resources of alien planets. A group of explorers arrive on a planet for a diplomatic mission but are drawn into a larger conflict."
Sounds a lot like Avatar, but hey, if it's Brian Haberlin on art I'll give it a serious look. The man's work is gallery worthy.

Clearing Up the Question about Hip Fractures: When to Replace, When to Fix.
Dr. Dennis Beck, Jr., MD, Trauma, Total Joint Replacement, General Orthopaedics
In the United States the statistics range from about 375,000 hip fractures for every 285 million people. Of those people that suffer hip fractures, 95% percent of these fractures are treated by some sort of surgery and approximately 5%, or 1 out of 20, are treated conservatively (no surgery required). Those people that are treated without surgery are usually patients who are quite ill or suffering other medical co-morbidities such as a lung or heart problem. It might also be determined after medical review and discussion with the family, the patient's risk of perishing from the experience of surgery is grossly higher than that of undergoing surgery. Hip fractures can also be treated conservatively by a patient request if hospice is involved or the patient has another terminal illness. In most cases, we do try to abide by the principle of patient autonomy allowing patients and their families to be reasonably involved in the final decision.
The upper femur (thigh bone) has a unique anatomy that predisposes it to fracture when the bone becomes osteopenic (less dense). This can also be seen in patients with osteoporosis which is a different disease pattern than just generalized osteopenia. Osteopenia is defined as reduced mineralization of the bones. That is to say that the bones have less density of calcium and metallic ions in them that gives bone its strength. Osteoporosis, however, means that the bone quality predisposes it to fracture. This would be analogous to different types of wood that you would find in your home or hardware store to purchase. Obviously a very hard piece of plywood would be harder to break and would accept screws more firmly than a very thin piece of balsa wood or some synthetic sawdust fabrication.
The anatomy of the upper femur (hip joint) is comprised of four different areas. The femoral head is the ball part of the femur and is the part that makes up the ball of the ball and socket. Of note, the other side of the socket called the acetabulum, Latin for "Vinegar Cup", is considered a separate type of injury; although, we are seeing the injuries to the acetabulum increase as well as the types of injuries which should be mentioned in a separate article.
The second part of the upper femur is the femoral neck and this is the perch upon which the ball sits before the left turn occurs down the femoral shaft. I often make the analogy to patients that the femoral neck is the junction between what you would picture as a single scoop ice cream ball and a sugar cone. It is a stress riser which means it is a point of maximum stress and a point where forces when a patient falls can be absorbed and focused causing injury. It is narrower than the part below it and above it and acts as "scord" area of the upper femur.
Below the femoral neck is the trochanter area. This is divided into the intertrochanteric area (on an x-ray this would be the area between the larger and smaller bumps of the upper femur where two major muscle groups attach) and the sub trochanteric area which is a lesser relevant area for this article (to be discussed under separate text as well).
In summary for this decision we will be talking primarily about femoral neck fractures and intertrochanteric fractures. Other anatomic facts important for this are that femoral neck fractures in the femoral neck area are within the hip capsule. I often describe this to patients as the area when you are cleaning out a food source for preparation; when you cut through or tear apart a chicken or turkey leg or wing it is the junction between two bones that has very smooth cartilage, very slippery surfaces on it and not a lot of meat or muscle attached to it. In the human anatomy the capsule of the hip joint starts just above the intertrochanteric area and ends at the acetabulum or the hip socket. This area is special because it does not have significant blood flow to the outside and the blood flow that supports the bone in this area comes primarily from inside the bone or intramedullary arteries. When that part of the bone is broken the intramedullary arteries tethered to the hard bone are torn off. The blood flow or ability of that bone to survive an injury and heal itself is compromised significantly to the point where trying to fix those fractures by putting screws, plates or pins through the area may result in up to a 30-40% complication rate.
The area of the intertrochanteric area is outside of the hip capsule where there are two major muscle groups attached to the femur. The muscle groups that move the leg out, in and up. When there is a fracture in this area the outer muscle covering has a rich blood supply and really predisposes this area to heal much more reliably and much more consistently.
This is why we often treat intertrochanteric fractures, fractures below the femoral neck and the capsule of the hip joint with rods, plates, screws or some other combination of devices to try to get them to heal because they more predictably heal with that blood supply.
Typically and historically, orthopaedic surgeons have done what we call hemiarthroplasties (half hip replacement) for displaced fractures of the femoral neck. Younger patients with femoral neck fractures undergo an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) which means a surgical wound is created, the patient's deformity is reduced, the bone is lined up as best possible, and plates, screws or some combination of pins or implants are used to fix the fracture to allow healing of the bone around it. What determines our decision for these two things of course is the demand of the patient, the instability of the fracture pattern (complexity of fracture), and other factors that are patient specific. Fractures of the intertrochanteric area are by enlarge treated with either a plate on the side of the bone with a screw heading up into the femoral head or a rod inside the bone with a screw heading up into the femoral head. The two devices, the rod and/or plate, are connected to the screw with a small joining screw on the inside that allows for compression of the bone. This allows for early walking, weightbearing and provides initial significant stability.
Currently the science is pointing towards the idea that femoral neck fractures that ordinarily we would do a half a hip replacement on should be treated with a total hip replacement. A total hip replacement is when a metal cup is placed into the native socket of the hip joint and screwed in place and allow for the bone and pelvis to grow into it over time. A total hip replacement is what is done routinely and commonly for hip replacement when there is both loss of cartilage on the side of the hip socket as well as the femoral head side.
In the past this was tried, however, hip replacements had smaller ball and socket constructs. They were not stable enough to stay in place during the recovery period because the ball and socket construct was smaller and less stable. After fracture the patient's hip replacement has much larger and stable constructs with much larger ball and socket joints to allow for more stability, and for a little bit more freedom in movement during the early recovery stages when muscles are healing. This is significantly different and requires a lot more control of the hip joint. When a replacement is performed for arthritis it is a controlled situation and there is very little to no muscle damage prior to the surgery.
In summary, with the advent of large ball and socket constructs, the patients now seem to have fewer dislocations and complications with primary total hip arthroplasty after fracture.
The scientific literature seems to be bearing this out over the past ten years; there have been many studies that show fewer dislocation rates, less overall cost and better functional outcomes as measured by patients when a primary total hip replacement is done for a femoral neck fracture. In fact, we are starting to consider primary total hip replacements for fractures of the intertrochanteric area with different types of devices. The limitation on this right now is that it requires just a slightly more specialized hip replacement that most surgeons are not widely trained to use at this point.
In Summary, this represents a very cursory overview of the decision points in treating hip fractures. I would be more than happy to discuss anything with any patients or families that are interested by appointment at any time. It is very important to me that patients are educated and not simply just receiving healthcare. I also believe very much in the use of Internet, web based technology, videos, YouTube videos as well as our own orthopaedic website, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons videos and any other website that has much more detail and reference for the scientific information presented in this article.
Disclaimer: This article should not be intended to provide medical advice and should not be used in any generalized decision/treatment process. Any and all decisions regarding patient care should be done on an individualized basis with consultation from a treating physician. I would not submit any warranty or guarantee of outcome based on the information or science given in this article as this is an evolving topic.
