Biomechanics of Femoral Neck Fractures and Implications for Fixation.
Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2019Fractures of the femoral neck can occur in young healthy individuals due to high loads occurring during motor vehicle accidents, impacts, or falls. Failure forces are lower if impacts occur sideways onto the greater trochanter as compared with vertical ...

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.

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1987
Distal femoral fractures may be treated by operative or nonoperative methods. There is no single surgical implant that can be used for all distal femoral fractures. Implant selection is determined by fracture pattern, patient age, bone density, and other injuries that the patient may have sustained.

Subtrochanteric Femoral Fractures
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2007Subtrochanteric femoral fractures are complicated injuries that may be associated with other life-threatening conditions. Patients should be carefully evaluated and appropriately treated for hypovolemic shock. These fractures can be effectively stabilized with 95 degrees plates, femoral reconstruction nails, or trochanteric femoral nails with ...

Interprosthetic Femoral Fractures
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2010Interprosthetic femoral fractures, ones occurring between ipsilateral total hip and total knee arthroplasties, are an increasingly common and challenging problem for orthopaedic surgeons. The purpose of this study was to report specific fracture locations and treatment outcomes associated with a protocol of femoral plate fixation that spanned the ...

Stress fractures are common overuse injuries attributed to the repetitive trauma associated with vigorous weightbearing activities. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose stress fractures of the femur because the symptoms may be vague. The precipitating factors, whether related to training errors or medical conditions, should be thoroughly ...

Diagnosis and Management of Ipsilateral Femoral Neck and Shaft Fractures.
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2018Ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures typically occur as a result of high-energy trauma in young adults. Up to 9% of femoral shaft fractures will have an associated femoral neck fracture. Awareness of this association and the use of a protocolized

Proximal Femoral Fractures: What the Orthopedic Surgeon Wants to Know.
Radiographics, 2015Each year, more than 250,000 hip fractures occur in the United States, resulting in considerable patient mortality and morbidity. The various types of adult proximal femoral fractures require different treatment strategies that depend on a variety of ...

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987
The absolute number of hip fractures is large, increasing, and related to osteoporosis as well as other factors. By 65 years of age, 50% of women will exhibit bone mineral below the fracture threshold; by age 85, 100%. Trabecular bone loss, which occurs before cortical bone loss, is characteristic of postmenopausal osteoporosis, while cortical bone ...

Bisphosphonates and Atypical Femoral Fractures [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2010 on the epidemiol-ogy of subtrochanteric fractures of the femoral shaft in more than 14,000 participants from ran -domized, controlled trials. In our view, the article has two major limitations. The literature suggests that these fractures are seen in some patients who have used bisphosphonates for a long time. How -ever, only about 1000 patients in the
