Intramedullary Nailing of Periarticular Fractures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Plate fixation has historically been the preferred surgical treatment method for periarticular fractures of the lower extremity. This trend has stemmed from difficulties with fracture reduction and concerns of inadequate fixation with intramedullary ...

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

open access: yesBiomedical 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.

Intramedullary femoral nail fixation for A pathological fracture distal to A resurfacing arthroplasty

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, 2021
Traumatic femoral shaft fractures distal to a hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) are rare. Only four cases have been described in which an intramedullary nail was used to treat the fracture.

Using Shockwave Lithotripsy to Treat Severe Calcified Mitral Stenosis in a Pregnant Woman

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) with significant calcification presents challenges for both surgical and transcatheter interventions. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) is often limited in these cases due to valve rigidity, increasing the risk of mitral regurgitation (MR).

The role of the PTHrP/Ihh feedback loop in the unusual growth plate location in mammalian metatarsals and pisiforms

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Longitudinal skeletal growth takes place in the cartilaginous growth plates. While growth plates are found at either end of conventional long bones, they occur at a variety of locations in the mammalian skeleton. For example, the metacarpals and metatarsals (MT) in the hands and feet form only a single growth plate at one end, and ...

Proximal femoral focal deficiency : a case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD) is a rare and complex congenital anomaly (1:50,000-200,000 population) that results in varying degrees of femoral hypoplasia with limb shortening and pelvic abnormalities.

Performance of the resurfaced hip. Part 1: the influence of the prosthesis size and positioning on the remodelling and fracture of the femoral neck

open access: yes, 2010
Hip resurfacing is an established treatment for osteoarthritis in young active patients. Failure modes include femoral neck fracture and prosthesis loosening, which may be associated with medium-term bone adaptation, including femoral neck narrowing and ...

Cancellous bone and theropod dinosaur locomotion. Part I—an examination of cancellous bone architecture in the hindlimb bones of theropods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This paper is the first of a three-part series that investigates the architecture of cancellous (‘spongy’) bone in the main hindlimb bones of theropod dinosaurs, and uses cancellous bone architectural patterns to infer locomotor biomechanics in extinct ...

The rendezvous technique for the treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures: A case series

open access: yesTrauma Case Reports, 2020
Concomitant ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are uncommon high-energy injuries characteristically occurring in young adults. Between 75 and 100% of these injuries occur in association with polytrauma to other organ systems. Associated femoral

The Failure Rate of Internal Fixation Increases With Sagittal Displacement of the Femoral Head: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesHealth Care Science, EarlyView.
This study found that the degree of femoral head sagittal displacement is linked to the risk of internal fixation failure in femoral neck fracture. Measurements of the sagittal tilt angle of the femoral head (STAFH) using CT‐3D imaging showed high reliability (ICC = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.96–0.98). Patients with excessive sagittal displacement (anterior tilt ≥
