How deadly is a fracture distal to the hip in the elderly? An observational cohort study of 11,799 femoral fractures in the Swedish Fracture Register

Acta Orthopaedica, 2020
Background and purpose — Unlike hip fractures, diaphyseal and distal femoral fractures in elderly patients have not been widely studied. We investigated the demographics, comorbidities and mortality of patients with femoral fractures at any anatomical ...

3D‐Printed Titanium Gyroid Scaffold Structure Integrated With Tough Hybrid Materials for Cartilage Replacement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

Bisphosphonate-related bilateral atypical femoral fractures : be aware and beware [PDF]

, 2011
Although bisphosphonates have a well established therapeutic role in the prevention of osteoporosis-related fractures, several reports published over the past 5-6 years suggest a possible causative relationship between long-term use of bisphosphonates ...

An in-vitro medium term simulation of hip hemiarthroplasty [PDF]

, 2012
Hemiarthroplasty of the hip is a common procedure to treat fracture of the neck of femur, which commonly affects the elderly. The treatment involves replacing the femoral head with a metallic component, leaving it to articulate against the cartilage of ...

Dual-energy computed tomography may reduce delayed diagnosis of occult hip fractures: Experiences at a single center

SAGE Open Medicine
Objectives: Early surgical intervention within 48 h is critical for reducing mortality and morbidity in patients with hip fractures. However, occult hip fractures are often missed, leading to treatment delays.

Performance of the resurfaced hip. Part 2: the influence of prosthesis stem design on remodelling and fracture of the femoral neck [PDF]

, 2010
Hip resurfacing is a popular treatment for osteoarthritis in young, active patients. Previous studies have shown that occasional failures – femoral neck fracture and implant loosening, possibly associated with bone adaptation – are affected by prosthesis
