Periprosthetic femoral fractures
British Journal of Hospital MedicineThe incidence of periprosthetic femoral fractures is rising in the UK, because of an ageing population and an increasing number of hip arthroplasty operations being performed. They can occur intra- or postoperatively, and usually follow low energy trauma. They present with pain, swelling over the thigh, and an inability to weight bear.

Femoral Head Fractures Revisited
European Journal of Trauma, 2002Background: Femoral head fractures have long been associated with a poor outcome. To date, only a few large series have adequate follow-up, and the description of injury types, treatment and outcome are often incomplete and thereby preclude comparison.

Distal Femoral Physeal Fractures
The Journal of Knee Surgery, 2018AbstractPhyseal fractures of the distal femoral are rare injuries accounting for less than 2% of all physeal injuries, and tend to have a worse prognosis than similar injuries in other locations. This article reviews the evaluation (including imaging), classification, and treatment of these injuries, and discusses their most important complications and

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2013
Femoral fractures in children are the commonest children's fracture requiring hospitalization. They consume disproportionate amounts of healthcare resource. Advances in operative management have resulted in improved clinical and health economic outcomes.This article describes 21st-century management of femoral fractures concentrating on recent advances.

Archives of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, 1980
A report is presented on 25 fatigue fractures of the femoral neck in 20-year-old military recruits with an otherwise healthy skeleton. The problems of diagnosis are described. Principles for the treatment of these stress fractures are elaborated on the basis of pathophysiological considerations and of the clinical experience.

Unstable Pertrochanteric Femoral Fractures
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2005Fractures in the trochanteric region of the femur are classified as AO/OTA 31-A, as they are extracapsular (). This report analyzes the relatively rare 31-A3 fracture, which has also been referred to as an "intertrochanteric femur fracture with subtrochanteric extension," "reverse obliquity intertrochanteric femur fracture," "unstable intertrochanteric

Complicated Femoral Shaft Fractures
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002The treatment of femoral shaft fractures has become safe and reproducible since the advent of popularization of intramedullary nailing, however, many femoral shaft fractures are complicated by associated fractures, extensive comminution, extensive contamination, and arterial injury compartmental syndrome.

Sequential bilateral femoral fractures
BMJ, 2012A 78 year old woman presented to the emergency department with an off-ended, shortened, anteriorly deviated, long oblique fracture of the right femoral diaphysis. She had been experiencing thigh pain for several weeks before this acute presentation and analgesia had been prescribed. She described feeling the bone “crack” as she turned around.

JBJS Case Connector, 2016
We posted our first “Case Connections” article about bisphosphonate-related atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) one year ago. Since then, JBJS Case Connector has published three additional case reports on the same topic, suggesting that it’s time for a revisit. These three recent cases demonstrate that AFFs can occur despite prophylactic intramedullary (
