Outcomes of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Detected Occult Neck of Femur Fractures:Do They Represent a Less Severe Injury with Improved Outcomes? [PDF]
, 2019 Purpose: Occult hip fractures in the elderly can be missed on standard radiographs and are a known cause of morbidity. These are generally diagnosed on either magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography scan, depending upon local hospital ...

Prospective randomised study comparing screw versus helical blade in the treatment of low-energy trochanteric fractures [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare femoral head placement, rates of reoperation and cephalic implant cut-out of a screw versus a blade for patients over age 60 with low energy trochanteric fractures (AO/OTA 31-A1, A2, and A3) treated ...

Treatment Trade‐Offs and Choices for Femoral Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1298-1313, May 2025.This review examines the trade‐offs between surgical intervention and traction therapy for adult and elderly patients with femoral fractures and surgical contraindications, particularly in resource‐limited settings. While intramedullary nailing may offer better clinical outcomes, traction therapy is often preferred due to limited surgical resources ...

Dynamic hip screw DHS results in intertrochanteric fractures
Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2021 96 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were treated between 1.1.1986 - 31.3.1989 in S. B. Haseki Hospital Orthopaedics and Traumatology Department. 63 of the patients received DHS. 29 ( 46%) were femaIe, 34 (54%) male. Mean age was 64.3.

Comparative study of management of intertrochanteric fracture by dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nailing [PDF]
, 2021 Background: The purpose of the present study is to verify the theoretical advantages of the intramedullary device over the dynamic hip screw devices and also whether it actually alters the eventual functional outcome of the patient. Methods: The

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 533-543, March 2026.Early surgery (< 48 h) in super‐aged hip fracture patients reduces 1–2 years mortality, complications, hospital stay, and costs, supporting timely intervention protocols. ABSTRACT Objective The global aging population has led to a significant increase in hip fractures among elderly patients, posing substantial clinical challenges.

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Purpose Multiple revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) remains highly challenging due to severe bone defects, which often render standard implants unsuitable. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes, survivorship and complication rates of customised knee implants used in aseptic one‐stage rTKA for patients with severe bone defects.
