Femoral neck fracture following intertrochanteric fracture

Journal of Arthroplasty, 1996
Four patients with femoral neck fracture following healed intertrochanteric fracture were evaluated retrospectively. This situation is a rare occurrence with a current literature review documenting only 15 cases. Patient charts and radiographs were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the period from initial injury to definitive treatment for the ...

Mortality in Intertrochanteric Fracture of the Femoral Neck

Acta Orthopaedica, 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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...
