Stable intertrochanteric femoral fractures. A misnomer?

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1983
Intertrochanteric fractures of the femur are usually classified into stable and unstable groups, partly to predict the likelihood of displacement with early weight-bearing after internal fixation. Of 82 internally fixed intertrochanteric fractures which would normally be classified as stable, 25 subsequently underwent impaction along the axis of the ...

The timing of surgery for intertrochanteric femoral fractures

Injury, 1988
The effect of the timing of operative treatment on the mortality and morbidity of a consecutive series of 230 patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur has been studied. It was found that the mortality rate was not influenced by the timing of surgical treatment. Loss of mobility and the frequency of pressure sores and chest infections were

Medial Displacement Osteotomy for Unstable Intertrochanteric Femoral Fractures

Southern Medical Journal, 1977
The charts and roentgenograms of 86 consecutive patients treated by medial displacement osteotomy between 1970 and 1974 were reviewed. All patients had unstable four-fragment intertrochanteric fractures and were treated by the residents and attending staff of the hospitals served by the University of Alabama Medical Center.

Femoral Neck and Intertrochanteric Fractures: Radiographic Indicators of Fracture Healing

Orthopedics, 2002
Abstract Serial hip radiographs from 280 patients with proximal femoral fractures were analyzed retrospectively by 3 radiologists to evaluate conventional radiographic healing patterns. Patients with hemiarthroplasty or insufficient follow-up were excluded, (n the remaining 41 patients, the fracture line and callus was assessed ...

Spontaneous subcapital femoral neck fracture complicating a healed intertrochanteric fracture

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 1999
A spontaneous subcapital femoral neck fracture is an uncommon complication of a healed intertrochanteric hip fracture. To determine the etiology of this complication, 274 patients who had been treated for intertrochanteric hip fractures were followed up over an 8-year period from June 1988 to June 1996.

Insufficiency femoral intertrochanteric fractures associated with greater trochanteric avulsion fractures

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2011
Insufficiency fractures are often overlooked, particularly when associated with greater trochanteric avulsion fractures. Here, we report magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of insufficiency femoral intertrochanteric fractures associated with greater trochanteric avulsion fractures treated by internal fixation.

Mortality in Intertrochanteric Fracture of the Femoral Neck

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1975
The mortality during the first year after operation was studied in 209 patients with intertrochanteric fracture of the femoral neck, all treated with osteosynthesis. The excess mortality due to the fracture and operation proved to be about 20 per cent.

[Intertrochanteric femoral fractures in children].

Der Unfallchirurg, 2006
Based on two cases and a review of the literature, we describe a rare injury in childhood, intertrochanteric femoral fracture. Because of the insertion and traction of muscles at the proximal femur, conservative treatment is difficult. The hip muscles pull the proximal fragment into flexion, abduction and external rotation.

Ipsilateral Intertrochanteric and Diaphyseal Femoral Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984
Concomitant intertrochanteric and diaphyseal fracture of the femur is an uncommon injury that is probably best managed by open reduction and internal fixation as soon as the patient is hemodynamically stable. Four cases are presented in which rigid fixation of both fractures allowed early mobilization of the patient, facilitating nursing care and ...

Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head After Intertrochanteric Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1999
To determine factors that may influence the appearance of avascular necrosis after intertrochanteric fractures.Retrospective.University hospital.Twelve patients between the ages of fifty-nine and eighty-eight who had developed avascular necrosis of the femoral head after treatment of an intertrochanteric femur fracture at our institution between 1976 ...
