The enigma of atypical femoral fractures
Atypical femoral fractures (AFF) are stress or ‘insufficiency’ fractures, often complicated by the use of bisphosphonates or other bone turnover inhibitors. While these drugs are beneficial for the intact osteoporotic bone, they probably prevent a stress

Adult traumatic femoral shaft fractures: A review of the literature
Background: Fractures of the shaft of the femur are common. Injuries leading to femoral shaft fractures are equally common. The femur presents itself to these injuries more than any other bone in the body.

Application of Far Cortical Locking Technology in Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture Fixation: A Biomechanical Study [PDF]
© 2016 Elsevier Inc. Background Lack of fracture movement could be a potential cause of periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) fixation failures. This study aimed to test whether the use of distal far cortical locking screws reduces the overall stiffness ...

Characterization of a reproducible model of fracture healing in mice using an open femoral osteotomy [PDF]
Purpose: The classic fracture model, described by Bonnarens and Einhorn in 1984, enlists a blunt guillotine to generate a closed fracture in a pre-stabilized rodent femur.

Background The literature is inconclusive as to whether an intramedullary nail changes the distribution of a subsequent ipsi- or contralateral fracture of the femur. We have compared the incidence, localisation, and fracture pattern of subsequent femoral

Prevalence and Characteristics of Atypical Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures
Bisphosphonate use has been associated with atypical femoral fractures (AFFs), defined by the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Task Force criteria, which currently exclude periprosthetic fractures.

Change-of-direction speed and aerobic fitness could influence academy graduation in law enforcement recruit [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Technical advancements have produced many challenges to intramedullary implants for unstable pertrochanteric fractures. Helical blade fixation of the femoral head has the theoretical advantages of higher rotational stability and cutout ...
