Atypical femoral fractures [PDF]

CLINICAL CASES IN MINERAL AND BONE METABOLISM, 2013
Bisphosphonates (BPs) represent the most widely used therapy for osteoporosis. Recently, a relationship between long-term treatment with BPs and a subset of atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) from below the lesser trochanter to the sovracondilar line has been described.

What do we know about atypical femoral fractures? Insights and enigmas [PDF]

, 2011
Although the existence of atypical femoral fractures is well established and bisphosphonate therapy is thought to be a major risk factor, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood.

Challenging the dogma to “always operate” acute hip fractures: a proof-of-concept pilot study for nonoperative management of undisplaced femoral neck fractures

Patient Safety in Surgery, 2022
Background The notion that all acute hip fractures are a surgical entity requiring either surgical fracture fixation or hip replacement represents a historic dogma, particularly within the orthopaedic community of the United States.

Characterization of a reproducible model of fracture healing in mice using an open femoral osteotomy [PDF]

, 2020
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.

Application of Far Cortical Locking Technology in Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture Fixation: A Biomechanical Study [PDF]

, 2016
© 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 ...

Bisphosphonate-induced periprosthetic fracture: a cause of painful total hip arthroplasty [PDF]

, 2014
Background. Cases have been reported in the literature of periprosthetic fractures associated with the use of bisphosphonates occurring in the long term following a Total Hip Replacement (THR).

Initial assessment of femoral proximal fracture and acute hip arthritis using pocket-sized ultrasound: a prospective observational study in a primary care setting in Japan

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Acute hip pain caused by femoral proximal fractures or acute hip arthritis requires imaging for accurate diagnosis. Although pocket-sized ultrasound (PsUS) offers several advantages over other imaging modalities, there is limited information ...

Higher stability and more predictive fixation with the Femoral Neck System versus Hansson Pins in femoral neck fractures Pauwels II

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2020
Summary Objectives To evaluate the biomechanical performance of the Femoral Neck System (FNS) versus the Hansson Pin System (Hansson Pins) with two parallel pins in a Pauwels II femoral neck fracture model with posterior comminution. Methods Forty-degree
