Femoral head fractures [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 2001
This report includes six patients with femoral head fractures. Five were associated with posterior hip dislocation, of which one also had an ipsilateral trochanteric fracture. All were young adults who had been injured in automobile accidents. The protocol for management, indications for surgery and guidelines for evaluation of results are described.

Inorganic Dielectric Materials Coupling Micro‐/Nanoarchitectures for State‐of‐the‐Art Biomechanical‐to‐Electrical Energy Conversion Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomechanical‐to‐electrical energy conversion devices are uniquely suited for self‐driven physiological information monitoring and powering human–computer interaction systems. These devices based on micro‐/nanoarchitectured inorganic dielectric materials (MNIDMs) have shown ultrahigh electromechanical performance and thus great potential for practical ...

Unstable Pelvic Fractures Associated with Femoral Shaft Fractures: A Retrospective Analysis

Biomedical Journal, 2013
Background: Both pelvic fractures and femoral shaft fractures are caused by high-energy injuries. When unstable pelvic fractures and femoral shaft fractures occur concomitantly, the optimal treatment method is controversial.

Association between Body Mass Index, Abdominal Obesity, and Body Size with Hip and Femoral Fractures in the Elderly

Journal of Nutrition and Food Security, 2023
Background: The risk of bone fractures, particularly hip fractures is increasing in the elderly. One of the known factors for predicting fractures is body mass index (BMI) and abdominal obesity. Thus, this study aimed to determine the association between

Influence of associated femoral head fractures on surgical outcomes following osteosynthesis in posterior wall acetabular fractures

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background To date, no study has compared the surgical outcomes between posterior wall acetabular fractures with and without associated femoral head fractures. Therefore, we evaluated whether an associated femoral head fracture increases the incidence of

Flexible intramedullary nailing in the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the femur in preschool children [PDF]

, 2008
Femur fractures in preschool children are mostly treated in a conservative way, by means of spica cast immobilisation or skin traction. In school age children the use of flexible intramedullary nails (FIN) is widely used and promoted.

Associations between sedentary time, physical activity and bone health among older people using compositional data analysis [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction : Aging is associated with a progressive decrease in bone mass (BM), and being physical active is one of the main strategies to combat this continuous loss.

Cold Plasma Generates a Localized Inflammatory Response and Promotes Muscle Repair

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The immediate tissue response to plasma is a pro‐inflammatory response which is characterized by collagen clumping, innate immune cell infiltration, enhanced metabolic processes, and decreased apoptosis. The long‐term tissue response (4‐ and 14‐days) to plasma treatment is characterized by a decreased inflammatory response, decreased adipogenesis, and ...

Failure after operative repair is higher for ballistic femoral neck fractures than for closed, blunt-injury fractures: a multicenter retrospective cohort study

Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open
Introduction The purpose of this study was to describe the outcomes after operative repair of ballistic femoral neck fractures. To better highlight the devastating nature of these injuries, we compared a cohort of ballistic femoral neck fractures to a ...
