Safety of surgical hip dislocation in femoral head fracture and dislocation (FHFD) and avascular necrosis risk factor analysis of FHFD: midterm results confirmed by SPECT/CT and MRI

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2022
Background The study aim was to report the treatment outcomes of trochanteric flip osteotomy (TFO) with surgical hip dislocation (SHD) for femoral head fracture and dislocation (FHFD) and to investigate the risk factors for avascular necrosis (AVN) of ...

Femoral shaft strains during daily activities: implications for atypical femoral fractures [PDF]

, 2014
Atypical femoral fractures are low-energy fractures initiating in the lateral femoral shaft. We hypothesized that atypical femoral fracture onset is associated with daily femoral strain patterns. We examined femoral shaft strains during daily activities.

Subsequent ipsi- and contralateral femoral fractures after intramedullary nailing of a trochanteric or subtrochanteric fracture: a cohort study on 2012 patients

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
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

Influence of femoral shaft fracture extension into subtrochanteric or supracondylar region on operation and fluoroscopy time in dynamic extramedullary fixation [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo
Introduction/Objective. Although femoral shaft fractures are mostly treated by intramedullary fixation today, certain situations indicate extramedullary fixation for these fractures.

The rendezvous technique for the treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures: A case series

Trauma Case Reports, 2020
Concomitant ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are uncommon high-energy injuries characteristically occurring in young adults. Between 75 and 100% of these injuries occur in association with polytrauma to other organ systems. Associated femoral

A secondary atypical diaphyseal femoral fracture after intramedullary nailing for an atypical subtrochanteric femoral fracture: A case report

Trauma Case Reports
Intramedullary nailing is the gold standard of treatment for atypical femoral fractures, with a few reports of secondary atypical subtrochanteric femoral fractures following intramedullary nailing for atypical diaphyseal femoral fractures. However, there

Internal fixation of subtrochanteric femoral fractures in children using a T-plate [PDF]

The Egyptian Orthopaedic Journal, 2015
BackgroundDisplaced subtrochanteric femoral fractures in children can be difficult to treat because of inherent fracture instability, a short metaphyseal fragment, and close proximity of the fracture to the growth plate.
