Initial assessment of femoral proximal fracture and acute hip arthritis using pocket-sized ultrasound: a prospective observational study in a primary care setting in Japan

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Acute hip pain caused by femoral proximal fractures or acute hip arthritis requires imaging for accurate diagnosis. Although pocket-sized ultrasound (PsUS) offers several advantages over other imaging modalities, there is limited information ...

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.

Outcomes of total hip arthroplasty, as a salvage procedure, following failed internal fixation of intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

, 2016
AIMS: The optimal management of intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck in independently mobile patients remains open to debate. Successful fixation obviates the limitations of arthroplasty for this group of patients.

Adult traumatic femoral shaft fractures: A review of the literature

Ibom Medical Journal, 2012
Background: Fractures of the shaft of the femur are common. Injuries leading to femoral shaft fractures are equally common. The femur presents itself to these injuries more than any other bone in the body.

Subsequent ipsi- and contralateral femoral fractures after intramedullary nailing of a trochanteric or subtrochanteric fracture: a cohort study on 2012 patients

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background The literature is inconclusive as to whether an intramedullary nail changes the distribution of a subsequent ipsi- or contralateral fracture of the femur. We have compared the incidence, localisation, and fracture pattern of subsequent femoral

The rendezvous technique for the treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures: A case series

Trauma Case Reports, 2020
Concomitant ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are uncommon high-energy injuries characteristically occurring in young adults. Between 75 and 100% of these injuries occur in association with polytrauma to other organ systems. Associated femoral

Change-of-direction speed and aerobic fitness could influence academy graduation in law enforcement recruit [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Technical advancements have produced many challenges to intramedullary implants for unstable pertrochanteric fractures. Helical blade fixation of the femoral head has the theoretical advantages of higher rotational stability and cutout ...
