Intraoperative Abdominal Penetration of the Lag Screw: A Rare Complication During Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-Rotation Surgery. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Although the proximal femoral nail anti‐rotation (PFNA) is accompanied by several benefits, using the nail is technically challenging and may pose some errors, leading to osteosynthesis failure. Here, we report a critical presentation of an uncommon side effect of PFNA surgery.

Unstable AO/OTA type 31-A1.2 intertrochanteric femur fracture: An unusual case report

Trauma Case Reports, 2020
AO/OTA type 31-A1.2 intertrochanteric femoral fractures generally are considered stable intertrochanteric fractures. We report a case of an unstable AO/OTA type 31-A1.2 intertrochanteric femoral fracture.

All-cause mortality risk in older patients with femoral neck fracture

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Introduction The mortality rate after hip fracture is high. However, the 1-year mortality rate after femoral intertrochanteric fracture and femoral neck fracture differs (Gibson-Smith D, Klop C, Elders PJ, Welsing PM, van Schoor N, Leufkens HG, et al ...

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.

Intertrochanteric femoral fractures. Mechanical failure after internal fixation [PDF]

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1990
In a prospective study we assessed the causes of mechanical failure in a series of 230 intertrochanteric femoral fractures which had been internally fixed with either a sliding hip screw or a Kuntscher Y-nail. The overall rate of mechanical failure was 16.5%; cutting-out of the implant from the femoral head was the cause in three-quarters of the ...
