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.

The femur is a long bone that extends from the hip to the knee. At its proximal end is the head, neck, greater and lesser trochanters, at the distal end a metaphyseal flare to the medial and lateral condyles. The femoral diaphysis (shaft) is bowed anteriorly. The femur is a tubular bone, which gives it strength to withstand axial loading; this enables

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.

Geriatric distal femoral fractures: A retrospective study of 30 day mortality.
Injury, 2019INTRODUCTION Distal femoral fractures have many of the same challenges as hip fractures, but there has been limited research into outcomes following these.

Trochanteric Femoral Fractures
Acta chirurgiae orthopaedicae et traumatologiae Cechoslovaca, 2013At the present time proximal femoral fractures account for 30% of all fractures referred to hospitals for treatment. Our population is ageing, the proportion of patients with post-menopausal or senile osteoporosis is increasing and therefore the number of proximal femoral fractures requiring urgent treatment is growing too.

Stress fractures are common overuse injuries attributed to the repetitive trauma associated with vigorous weightbearing activities. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose stress fractures of the femur because the symptoms may be vague. The precipitating factors, whether related to training errors or medical conditions, should be thoroughly ...

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 ...

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.

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.
