Epidemiology of Hip Fractures [PDF]

Epidemiologic Reviews, 1997
Hip fractures are the most serious osteoporotic fracture at both an individual and population level. In the United States alone there are over 250,000 hip fractures each year (1), costing at least 5.4 billion dollars annually (2). About 20 percent of persons who fracture their hip are dead within a year (3, 4) and, of the survivors, many never regain ...

Multifunctional Bioactive Coatings Based on Bioglass, Vitamin D3, and Melittin Deposited via MAPLE for Enhanced Osseointegration, Antibacterial Activity, and Corrosion Resistance of Titanium Implants

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Matrix‐Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) technique is used to cover titanium (Ti) substrates with multifunctional bioactive coatings composed of bioglass, vitamin D3, and melittin. Coatings exhibited excellent chemical integrity and favorable micro/nanostructured morphology (promoting cellular adhesion and viability), and a sustained release of

Dual mobility total hip arthroplasty for salvaging failed internal fixation for neck of femur fractures

Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, 2020
Internal fixation is commonly used to treat fractures in the hip. However, failure of proximal femoral fracture fixation is common and treated with total hip replacement (THR). The aim of this study is to present our midterm results of dual mobility (DM)
