All-cause mortality risk in aged femoral intertrochanteric fracture patients

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Introduction The 1-year mortality rate after femoral intertrochanteric fracture is higher than that of femoral neck fracture, which also belongs to hip fracture (Cui et al. in Arch Osteoporos 14(1):55, 2019).

Cement augmentation of the proximal femoral nail antirotation for the treatment of two intertrochanteric fractures - a comparative finite element study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background There are concerns regarding initial stability and cutout effect in proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) treating intertrochanteric fractures. No study have used finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the biomechanics.

A rare complication of ipsilateral femoral neck fracture after removal of the long Gamma nail in a healed intertrochanteric fracture

Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2020
Ipsilateral femoral neck fracture after hardware removal in healed trochanteric fracture is a rare complication. We reported a case of a 79-year-old woman who had undergone open reduction and internal fixation for her left intertrochanteric fracture with

3066 consecutive Gamma Nails. 12 years experience at a single centre [PDF]

, 2010
Background Fixation of trochanteric hip fractures using the Gamma Nail has been performed since 1988 and is today well established and wide-spread. However, a number of reports have raised serious concerns about the implant's complication rate.

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 ...

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.

Reliability of predictors for screw cutout in intertrochanteric hip fractures [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Following internal fixation of intertrochanteric hip fractures, tip apex distance, fracture classification, position of the screw in the femoral head, and fracture reduction are known predictors for screw cutout, but the reliability of these ...
