Co-morbidities, complications and causes of death among people with femoral neck fracture – a three-year follow-up study

BMC Geriatrics, 2016
BackgroundThe poor outcome after a hip fracture is not fully understood.The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence of co-morbidities, complications and causes of death and to investigate factors that are able to predict mortality in old people ...

Trametinib in Adults with Neurofibromatosis Type 1‐Related Symptomatic Plexiform Neurofibromas

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase inhibitors have shown promising results in treatment of plexiform neurofibromas in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients, but data in adults are limited. The aim of this phase 2 study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of trametinib in adults with neurofibromatosis type 1.

Pre-sliding of femoral neck system improves fixation stability in pauwels type III femoral neck fracture: a finite element analysis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background Femoral neck fractures are a common injury in older adults and their management presents a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The Femoral Neck System (FNS) was recently introduced for the fixation of femur neck fractures.

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Bilateral Femoral Neck Fracture-Related Hyperparathyroidism

Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2011
Bilateral femoral neck fracture is not common as unilateral femoral fracture. Femoral neck fracture generally occurs by the high energized traumas. Traffic accidents and fallings are the most common reason for this fracture kind.

Bio-mechanical effects of femoral neck system versus cannulated screws on treating young patients with Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures: a finite element analysis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Introduction As a novel internal fixation for femoral neck fractures, the femoral neck system has some advantages for young Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures without clear biomechanical effects and mechanisms. Thus, the objection of the study is to

Prediction Value of SPECT/CT in Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head After Femur Neck Fracture

Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, 2019
Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in prediction of avascular necrosis (AVN) after femoral neck fracture and to evaluate whether photon ...

Successful treatment for bilateral femoral neck insufficiency fractures: a rare lesion case report and an updated review of the literature

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background The incidence of insufficiency fracture (IF) at femoral neck is low, accounting for about 5% of all insufficiency fractures, and IF at bilateral femoral neck is less common with more occurrence in athlete or serviceman.

Femoral neck system versus inverted cannulated cancellous screw for the treatment of femoral neck fractures in adults: a preliminary comparative study

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Background The femoral neck system (FNS) may be a valid alternative for treating femoral neck fractures, but few studies have compared the outcomes between FNS and cannulated cancellous screws.
