Treatment Trade‐Offs and Choices for Femoral Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1298-1313, May 2025.This review examines the trade‐offs between surgical intervention and traction therapy for adult and elderly patients with femoral fractures and surgical contraindications, particularly in resource‐limited settings. While intramedullary nailing may offer better clinical outcomes, traction therapy is often preferred due to limited surgical resources ...

Nutritional status and nutritional treatment are related to outcomes and mortality in older adults with hip fracture [PDF]
, 2017 Malnutrition is very prevalent in geriatric patients with hip fracture. Nevertheless, its importance is not fully recognized. The objective of this paper is to review the impact of malnutrition and of nutritional treatment upon outcomes and mortality in ...

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.This study found that key hematological parameters showed temporal patterns: hemoglobin, hematocrit, neutrophil percentage, neutrophils, and NLR significantly decreased from days 1 to 5 (all p < 0.001), while lymphocytes and monocytes exhibited biphasic dynamics. Monocytes had a significant interaction with time and fracture type, while lymphocytes and

Prevention of fracture at the distal locking site of the gamma nail. A biomechanical study [PDF]
, 1995 To investigate the origin of fractures at the distal locking site of the Gamma nail, we loaded ten paired human cadaver femora fixed with a Gamma nail in torsion until they fractured. When an awl was hammered in to start the

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 42, Issue 3, March 2026.We investigated how lesion location and subject specificity affect the femur's mechanical response in metastatic bone disease. Using one generic and three subject‐specific models, we found that lesion location is a major determinant of fracture risk, with consistent trends across subjects.

Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 42, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Background Autoimmune diabetes (AD) increases fracture risk. Overweight worsens bone health despite increasing bone mineral density (BMD). This study examines how adiposity influences BMD and Dual X‐Ray Absorptiometry (DXA)‐derived parameters of bone geometry and strength in AD.
