GGPS1 Mutation and Atypical Femoral Fractures with Bisphosphonates.
This letter describes the detection of GGPS1 and other mutations in three sisters who had atypical femoral fractures associated with long-term bisphosphonate use, which suggests that genes in the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway may confer susceptibility ...

Lateral Femoral Bowing and the Location of Atypical Femoral Fractures
Purpose Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) occur in two distinct part, subtrochanter and diaphysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the lateral femoral bowing angle and the location of AFF.

The Libyan civil conflict : selected case series of orthopaedic trauma managed in Malta in 2014 [PDF]
Aim: The purpose of this series of cases was to analyse our management of orthopaedic trauma casualties in the Libyan civil war crisis in the European summer of 2014. We looked at both damage control orthopaedics and for case variety of war trauma at a

Mechanisms of femoral fracture [PDF]
Abstract Mechanisms of femoral fracture of the condyles and shaft were experimentally investigated through controlled knee impact of denuded femurs in six human cadavers. High-speed movies recorded knee joint compression, femoral displacements and deformation, and fracture initiation.

National trends in total hip arthroplasty for traumatic hip fractures: An analysis of a nationwide all-payer database. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Hemiarthroplasty (HA) has traditionally been the treatment of choice for elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures. Ideal treatment for younger, ambulatory patients is not as clear.
