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

Case Report: Proximal femoral valgus osteotomy and dynamic hip screw fixation for post-traumatic coxa vara secondary to femoral neck or intertrochanteric fracture nonunion or malunion: a retrospective case series [PDF]
Frontiers in SurgeryBackgroundPost-traumatic coxa vara following femoral neck or intertrochanteric fracture nonunion or malunion remains a difficult problem in young and middle-aged patients, in whom salvage total hip arthroplasty carries excess complication risk.

Study on the predictive value of femoral head HU values in hip fractures [PDF]
Frontiers in SurgeryObjectiveThis study investigates whether the CT Hounsfield Unit (HU) value of the femoral head can differentiate femoral neck fractures (FNF) from intertrochanteric femoral fractures (IFF), and whether it can serve as an indicator for predicting the ...
