Femoral neck fractures in the geriatric patient continue to represent a therapeutic challenge. Despite advances in surgical techniques and medical care, the risk of nonunion and osteonecrosis after fixation have not changed appreciably in the last 50 years.

Interimplant femoral fractures
Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research, 2022The number of hip or knee arthroplasties, and internal fixations of the proximal and distal femur, is increasing in proportion to the growing and ageing population, whose life expectancy is lengthening. Thus, fractures of the femur between proximal and distal implants, although rare, are becoming more frequent.

Distal Femoral Fractures [PDF]
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.

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.

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2013
Femoral fractures in children are the commonest children's fracture requiring hospitalization. They consume disproportionate amounts of healthcare resource. Advances in operative management have resulted in improved clinical and health economic outcomes.This article describes 21st-century management of femoral fractures concentrating on recent advances.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Interprosthetic Femoral Fractures
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2010Interprosthetic femoral fractures, ones occurring between ipsilateral total hip and total knee arthroplasties, are an increasingly common and challenging problem for orthopaedic surgeons. The purpose of this study was to report specific fracture locations and treatment outcomes associated with a protocol of femoral plate fixation that spanned the ...

Unstable Pertrochanteric Femoral Fractures
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2005Fractures in the trochanteric region of the femur are classified as AO/OTA 31-A, as they are extracapsular (). This report analyzes the relatively rare 31-A3 fracture, which has also been referred to as an "intertrochanteric femur fracture with subtrochanteric extension," "reverse obliquity intertrochanteric femur fracture," "unstable intertrochanteric
