Journal of Society of Surgeons of Nepal, 2021 Introduction: Intertrochanteric fractures account for approximately half of the hip fractures in the elderly because of the osteoporotic nature of the bone. There are various modalities to treat these fractures. The objective of this study was to compare

Intraoperative Abdominal Penetration of the Lag Screw: A Rare Complication During Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-Rotation Surgery. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Although the proximal femoral nail anti‐rotation (PFNA) is accompanied by several benefits, using the nail is technically challenging and may pose some errors, leading to osteosynthesis failure. Here, we report a critical presentation of an uncommon side effect of PFNA surgery.

Intra-Pelvic Migration of Sliding Hip Screw During Osteosynthesis of Hip Fracture: A Rare Avoidable Intraoperative Complication. [PDF]
, 2015 Hip fractures, which are common among old patients, are classified into two groups: intracapsular and extracapsular fractures. Extracapsular fractures can be treated with extramedullary implants [e.g.

Further understanding on osteopetrotic femoral fractures: a case report and literature review
BMC Surgery, 2021 Background Osteopetrosis is a genetic disease characterized by defects in osteoclast formation and function. There were a few cases of subtrochanteric femur fractures treated with dynamic hip screw (DHS) in patients with osteopetrosis, but unfortunately ...

Decision Making in the Management of Extracapsular Fractures of the Proximal Femur - is the Dynamic Hip Screw the Prevailing Gold Standard? [PDF]
, 2017 Currently, approximately half of all hip fractures are extracapsular, with an incidence as high as 50 in 100,000 in some countries. The common classification systems fail to explain the logistics of fracture classification and whether they all behave in ...
