A Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture with Characteristics of Atypical Femoral Fracture [PDF]

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2019
Although the definition of atypical femoral fracture (AFF) excludes periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF), the number of reports about PFF with characteristics of AFF is increasing. We present the case of such a fracture in this report. An 87-year-old woman who underwent bipolar hip arthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture 38 months prior reported left

Comparative evaluation of intramedullary interlocking nailing and end-threaded pinning (positive profile) for fixation of femoral fractures in dogs

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020
The study included 14 cases of femur fracture in which two different techniques namely intramedullary interlocking nailing (IILN) (group-I; 9 cases) and end threaded pinning (ETP) (group-II; 5 cases) were used for fixation of the fracture.

Atypical femoral fracture [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2017
Long-term use of bisphosphonate is defined as greater than three years for the treatment of osteoporosis.[1][1] This type of fracture accounts for 1.1% of all femoral fractures, with an age-adjusted incidence rate of 1.8 to 113 cases per 100 000 person-years for bisphosphonate exposure of less ...

Complex femoral fractures [PDF]

The Egyptian Orthopaedic Journal, 2017
BackgroundComplex femoral fractures are fractures involving more than one anatomical region of the femur. Each of these fractures may be fixed with implants selected for each fracture, requiring large incisions.

Subtrochanteric fracture after femoral neck system of femoral neck fractures: a report of four cases

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background The femoral neck system (FNS) is commonly used for internal fixation of femoral neck fractures and has shown promising results. However, we have observed cases of peri-implant subtrochanteric femur fractures associated with the use of FNS at ...

Mechanisms of femoral fracture [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanics, 1980
Abstract Mechanisms of femoral fracture of the condyles and shaft were experimentally investigated through controlled knee impact of denuded femurs in six human cadavers. High-speed movies recorded knee joint compression, femoral displacements and deformation, and fracture initiation.

Femoral head fractures [PDF]

Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2012
Femoral head fractures may present in various patterns with or without associated fractures around the hip. As a result, the treating orthopaedic surgeon must understand not only the fracture pattern, but also patient-related fractures and the relevant operative exposures and reconstructive options to achieve the best functional outcome while ...

Atypical femoral fractures [PDF]

CLINICAL CASES IN MINERAL AND BONE METABOLISM, 2013
Bisphosphonates (BPs) represent the most widely used therapy for osteoporosis. Recently, a relationship between long-term treatment with BPs and a subset of atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) from below the lesser trochanter to the sovracondilar line has been described.

Femoral neck fracture after femoral head necrosis: a case report and review of the literature

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Introduction Pathological fractures of the femoral neck caused by necrosis of the femoral head are extremely rare. Here, we report a rare case of bilateral femoral head osteonecrosis extending to the femoral neck, with bilateral pathological fractures of

Challenging the dogma to “always operate” acute hip fractures: a proof-of-concept pilot study for nonoperative management of undisplaced femoral neck fractures

Patient Safety in Surgery, 2022
Background The notion that all acute hip fractures are a surgical entity requiring either surgical fracture fixation or hip replacement represents a historic dogma, particularly within the orthopaedic community of the United States.
