Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987
The absolute number of hip fractures is large, increasing, and related to osteoporosis as well as other factors. By 65 years of age, 50% of women will exhibit bone mineral below the fracture threshold; by age 85, 100%. Trabecular bone loss, which occurs before cortical bone loss, is characteristic of postmenopausal osteoporosis, while cortical bone ...

The Journal of Knee Surgery, 2010
Distal femoral fractures largely occur secondary to high-energy trauma in the younger population and as osteoporotic fractures in the elderly population, including periprosthetic fractures above a TKA. Attempts to gain satisfactory axial alignment, articular congruity, and knee range of motion with conservative treatment have been largely disappointing.

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1987
Distal femoral fractures may be treated by operative or nonoperative methods. There is no single surgical implant that can be used for all distal femoral fractures. Implant selection is determined by fracture pattern, patient age, bone density, and other injuries that the patient may have sustained.

Subtrochanteric Femoral Fractures
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2007Subtrochanteric femoral fractures are complicated injuries that may be associated with other life-threatening conditions. Patients should be carefully evaluated and appropriately treated for hypovolemic shock. These fractures can be effectively stabilized with 95 degrees plates, femoral reconstruction nails, or trochanteric femoral nails with ...

Biomechanics of Femoral Neck Fractures and Implications for Fixation.
Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2019Fractures of the femoral neck can occur in young healthy individuals due to high loads occurring during motor vehicle accidents, impacts, or falls. Failure forces are lower if impacts occur sideways onto the greater trochanter as compared with vertical ...

JBJS Reviews, 2015
Femoral head fractures are consequential but uncommon injuries. Because of their relatively rare occurrence, large series with validated outcomes have not been published, to our knowledge. However, the available literature provides important insights into the treatment of these challenging fractures.

Subtrochanteric Femoral Fractures
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1980Femoral fractures in the subtrochanteric and proximal shaft regions require special management because of the great stresses inflicted on the area. Stability is best achieved with intramedullary fixation when there is adequate control of both proximal and distal fragments.

Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 1994Fracture of the femoral shaft around a hip prosthesis presents the simultaneous problems of prosthetic stability and femoral- fracture management. Treatment options include nonoperative stabilization (traction) and operative stabilization by means of intramedullary fixation, extramedullary fixation, or proximal femoral prosthetic replacement.

Diagnosis and Management of Ipsilateral Femoral Neck and Shaft Fractures.
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2018Ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures typically occur as a result of high-energy trauma in young adults. Up to 9% of femoral shaft fractures will have an associated femoral neck fracture. Awareness of this association and the use of a protocolized

Neglected Femoral Diaphyseal Fracture
Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2005Femoral diaphyseal fractures usually result after trauma of high magnitude and because of this, can be life-threatening injuries or may result in considerable physical disability if not treated with care and caution. Nonoperative treatment of these fractures continues to be popular among the patient population in the Indian subcontinent, which in ...
