Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy for non-union of femoral neck fracture

Injury, 2006
In spite of improved surgical techniques and fixation devices, non-union still reportedly occurs in 10-30% of cases of femoral neck fracture. A variety of methods of treatment that preserve the femoral head have been described, yet there are few reports ...

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

Patients With Femoral Neck and Intertrochanteric Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1996
A prospective analysis was performed involving 680 geriatric patients with hip fractures to determine whether the demographic profile of patients with femoral neck fractures was similar to that of patients with intertrochanteric fractures. All patients were community dwelling, cognitively intact, previously ambulatory elderly with femoral neck or ...

Subtrochanteric—Intertrochanteric Femoral Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1987
Subtrochanteric fractures can be managed effectively with newer techniques and implants. If the proximal fragment is intact and includes the lesser trochanter, an interlocking intramedullary nail is indicated. If there is inter-subtrochanteric comminution, a screw-plate device with bone graft, or a Zickel nail should be used.

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 ...

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 ...

Comparison of morphological features in the femur between femoral neck fractures and femoral intertrochanteric fractures

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2016
The purpose of this study is to make proximal femur fracture types more predictable by considering morphological features of an acetabulum as well as of a proximal femur in the Japanese population.A retrospective review of radiographs of the proximal femoral fractures was conducted in patients registered from 2010 to 2012, dividing into patients with ...

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.
