Hip Fractures in Elderly – Ten Years Analysis [PDF]

, 2010
Geriatric hip fractures (GHP) are the major problem in the geriatric traumatology and it is estimated that treatment of GHF will spend a large amount of health care resources1–5. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare differences in incidence

Radiographic classification of coronal plane femoral deformities in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia [PDF]

, 2014
Fibrous dysplasia of bone is a skeletal dysplasia with a propensity to affect the femur in its polyostotic form, leading to deformity, fracture, and pain.

Importance of Metastatic Lesion Location and Subject‐Specificity in the Determination of Femoral Fracture Risk

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.

Fat Mass Influences Femur Bone Strength and Geometry Parameters, but Not Bone Mineral Density, in Autoimmune Diabetes: A Pilot Study

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.

Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation of Intertrochanteric Fractures of Femur: A Comparison of Outcome With and Without Using Traction Table [PDF]

Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2011
Intertrochanteric fracture of the femur is one of the common fractures in the elderly. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) fixation is the gold standard for treatment of intertrochanteric femoral fracture.

Lesser Trochanter Migration following Intramedullary Fixation of an Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2016
Intertrochanteric femur fractures are commonly observed in the elderly and may be associated with a complete fracture of the lesser trochanter in over 50% of cases.

Gross Anatomy and Approach to the Humerus and Femur in the White‐Eared Opossum (Didelphis albiventris)

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The white‐eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris) is a Neotropical marsupial that readily adapts to urban environments. Due to its presence in anthropogenic habitats, this species is frequently exposed to vehicle collisions and dog attacks. Such trauma often results in long bone fractures, with humeral and femoral fractures being common in ...

A new nail-plate for treatment of fracture of the neck of the femur [PDF]

, 1977
Operative treatment of fractures of the neck and trochanter of the femur does not always produce a satisfactory result. This is usually due to biomechanical problems with the available internal fixation methods.

Impact of Early Surgery on Clinical Outcomes of Super‐Aged Patients With Hip Fractures: A Retrospective Propensity Score‐Matched Study With 2‐Year Follow‐Up

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 533-543, March 2026.
Early surgery (< 48 h) in super‐aged hip fracture patients reduces 1–2 years mortality, complications, hospital stay, and costs, supporting timely intervention protocols. ABSTRACT Objective The global aging population has led to a significant increase in hip fractures among elderly patients, posing substantial clinical challenges.

Canal to diaphysis ratio as a risk factor for hip fractures and hip fracture pattern

SICOT-J, 2017
Introduction: Osteoporosis and related fractures constitute a significant burden on modern healthcare. The standard method of diagnosing osteoporosis with a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan is limited by accessibility and expense.
