Subtrochanteric Femoral Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2007
Subtrochanteric 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, 2019
Fractures 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 ...

Femoral Head Fractures

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, 1980
Femoral 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, 1994
Fracture 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, 2018
Ipsilateral 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, 2005
Femoral 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 ...

Femoral Neck Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2015
Femoral neck fractures are a commonly encountered injury in orthopaedic practice and result in significant morbidity and mortality. It is essential that surgeons are able to recognize specific fracture patterns and patient characteristics that indicate the use of particular implants and methods to effectively manage these injuries.

Undisplaced Femoral Neck Fracture

JAMA, 1964
Dr. W. H. Harris: At the age of 14, an otherwise healthy girl sustained an injury to her right hip when she fell from a chair. She was unable to walk because of the pain of the hip, but when she was at rest, her hip was comfortable. After the first 48 hours she could raise her leg straight in the neutral position without discomfort, but she had mild ...

Femoral Neck Stress Fracture

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2013
The patient was a 19-year-old woman who recently completed a military basic training program. She was evaluated by a physical therapist in a direct-access capacity for a chief complaint of anterior right hip pain that limited her ability to run. Due to the limited sensitivity of radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging of the right hip was obtained ...
