Femoral shaft fractures

Evidence-Based Orthopedics, 2021
It appears that both the retrograde and antegrade approach to treating femoral shaft fractures yield high union and similar malunion rates. Those receiving antegrade nailing may heal faster although this was not consistent.

Femoral shaft fracture

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2006
The femur is a long bone that extends from the hip to the knee. At its proximal end is the head, neck, greater and lesser trochanters, at the distal end a metaphyseal flare to the medial and lateral condyles. The femoral diaphysis (shaft) is bowed anteriorly. The femur is a tubular bone, which gives it strength to withstand axial loading; this enables

Femoral Neck Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002
Femoral neck fractures in the geriatric patient continue to represent a therapeutic challenge. Despite advances in surgical techniques and medical care, the risk of nonunion and osteonecrosis after fixation have not changed appreciably in the last 50 years.

Interimplant femoral fractures

Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research, 2022
The number of hip or knee arthroplasties, and internal fixations of the proximal and distal femur, is increasing in proportion to the growing and ageing population, whose life expectancy is lengthening. Thus, fractures of the femur between proximal and distal implants, although rare, are becoming more frequent.

Distal Femoral Fractures [PDF]

open access: possibleThe Journal of Knee Surgery, 2010
Distal femoral fractures largely occur secondary to high-energy trauma in the younger population and as osteoporotic fractures in the elderly population, including periprosthetic fractures above a TKA. Attempts to gain satisfactory axial alignment, articular congruity, and knee range of motion with conservative treatment have been largely disappointing.

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.

Epidemiology of periprosthetic femoral fractures in 5417 revision total hip arthroplasties: a 40-year experience.

The Bone & Joint Journal, 2016
AIMS The goals of this study were to define the risk factors, characteristics, and chronology of fractures in 5417 revision total hip arthroplasties (THAs).
