Delayed Peri‐Implant Trochanteric Femoral Fractures After Intramedullary Nailing: Surgical Challenges in an Aging Society: A Two‐Case Report [PDF]
Introduction Fractures, including peri‐implant femoral fractures, are increasing in aging populations. We present two trochanteric femoral fractures post–intramedullary nailing (IMN), highlighting preoperative planning for refracture risks and implant removal. These cases highlight potential surgical challenges in aging societies.

Waiting for surgery after hip fracture—Health and/or economic risk?
Abstract Objectives Waiting for surgery is a disconcerting experience. It can have a negative impact on patients' outcomes and length of stay (LOS) as driver for treatment costs. Process‐optimisation may be a strategy to improve quality and cost‐efficacy.

A 35-year-old healthy female patient sustained an ipsilateral intracapsular fracture of the femoral neck and fracture of the femoral shaft in a car accident. This was successfully treated by DHS fixation.Four and a half years after the operation, DHS was removed, and a new subcapital fracture of the femoral neck was found by X-ray one week after ...

A Prospective, Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing the use of the Proximal Femoral Nail – Antirotation and Dynamic Hip Screw for Stable Intertrochanteric Femur Fractures-Stable Trochanteric Fractures Intramedullary versus Extramedullary (STRIVE) Study [PDF]
Introduction: Intramedullary nailing in the management of hip fractures is gaining in popularity. Our study aims to determine if there are any clinical and radiological differences between the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation II (PFNA II) and the ...
