A simple technique to position patients with bilateral above-knee amputations for operative fixation of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur: a case report [PDF]

, 2010
Introduction Intertrochanteric fractures of the femur are common fractures in the elderly, and management includes operative fixation after patient positioning on the fracture table. Patients with bilateral above-knee amputations are challenging in terms

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.

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.

Early intravenous tranexamic acid intervention reduces post-traumatic hidden blood loss in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture: a randomized controlled trial

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020
Elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures exhibit post-traumatic hidden blood loss (HBL). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reducing post-traumatic HBL via early intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) intervention in elderly
