Hip geometry and femoral neck fractures: A meta-analysis
Background: Several studies have reported hip geometry to predict the femoral neck fractures. However, they showed inconsistency. Objectives: To determine the association between hip geometry and femoral neck fractures. Methods: Published literature from

Double fixation for complex distal femoral fractures
For complex distal femoral fractures, a single lateral locking compression plate or retrograde intramedullary nail may not achieve a stable environment for fracture healing.

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]
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 ...

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 ...

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

Epidemiology of proximal femoral fractures.
Introduction With increasing age, the incidence of proximal femoral fractures increases steadily. Although the different treatments are investigated frequently, little is known about the seasonal variation and predisposing factors.

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