Impact of sarcopenia on intertrochanteric femoral fracture in the elderly. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of skeletal sarcopenia on the prognosis of intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Methods We collected information on 144 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture (FIF). The influence of sarcopenia on the chance of death was determined using binary Probit regression analysis ...

Functional Outcome of Proximal Femoral Nailing in Intertrochanteric Fracture

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2022
Background: Intertrochanteric fracture of femur is one of the commonest fracture seen in elderly, osteoporotic female. The main stay of treatment is fixation with dynamic hip screw or intramedullary device like Proximal Femoral Nail.

Comminuted Intertrochanteric Fracture of the Femoral Neck [PDF]

Acta Orthopaedica, 1975
If comminuted intertrochanteric fractures of the femoral neck are treated in the same way as the simple ones--by reduction, McLaughlin nailing, and early weightbearing--many complications will occur, in most cases failure of the osteosynthesis or infection. If operation is to be used at all in these fractures, it must take the form of a firmer fixation

ORIF of an intertrochanteric fracture proximal to an above-knee amputation using two AO femoral distractors

Trauma Case Reports, 2023
We present the case of a patient who sustained a displaced intertrochanteric fracture proximal to an above-the-knee amputation. Reduction was obtained using 2 AO femoral distractors placed anteriorly and laterally, spanning the hip joint.

Persistent femoral neck non-union despite valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy: Relevance for secondary cam-type impingement

Trauma Case Reports, 2023
Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy is a well-established treatment in delayed union of femoral neck fractures as it converts shear forces into compression forces.

Primary repair for concurrent bilateral intertrochanteric fracture and femoral head necrosis with prolonged shank biologic total hip replacement: A case report and surgical techniques

Chinese Journal of Traumatology, 2023
For the treatment of an intertrochanteric fracture combined with femoral head necrosis in middle-age patients, it has been controversial whether to perform fracture reduction and fixation first then total hip replacement, or direct total hip replacement.
