Nailing Intertrochanteric Hip Fractures: Short Versus Long; Locked Versus Nonlocked

, 2015
A large number of implants have been developed for intramedullary fixation of intertrochanteric fractures. This article attempts to summarize the contemporary understanding of the existing biomechanical and clinical evidence on intramedullary nailing of ...

Effects of Zoledronate on Mortality and Morbidity after Surgical Treatment of Hip Fractures

Advances in Orthopedics, 2016
We aimed to evaluate the effects of intertrochanteric femoral fractures on mortality, morbidity, and cost of zoledronate treatment in elderly patients treated by osteosynthesis.

Association of computed tomography-based radiodensity of the peri-hip muscles with hip fracture type and severity: a retrospective study in middle-aged and elderly patients

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Sarcopenia and myosteatosis—hallmarks of aging associated with reduced muscle quality and function—can be assessed using computed tomography (CT)-based measurements of muscle cross-sectional area and radiodensity.

Dynamic Hip Screw Compared to Condylar Blade Plate in the Treatment of Unstable Fragility Intertrochanteric Fractures [PDF]

, 2009
Dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation is considered standard treatment for most intertrochanteric fractures. However, excessive sliding at the fracture site and medialisation of femoral shaft may lead in fixation failure.

Anthropometric measurements associated with intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly: a case-control study

, 2019
BACKGROUND Femoral intertrochanteric fracture is an important cause of disability in the elderly. Low muscle mass, especially those of the lower limbs, has been associated with osteoporosis and higher fall incidents.

The epidemiology of fractures in England [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction: Fractures are a considerable public health burden in the United Kingdom but information on their epidemiology is limited. Objective: This study aims to estimate the true annual incidence and lifetime prevalence of fractures in England ...

Functional Outcome of Proximal Femoral Nailing in Intertrochanteric Femur Fractures

Background: Intertrochanteric femur fractures impose substantial morbidity in adults of working age, and cephalomedullary fixation has progressively displaced extramedullary constructs across resource-limited orthopaedic trauma settings.

Effects and Complications of Hip Arthroplasty After Failure of Internal Fixation in Stable and Unstable Intertrochanteric Femoral Fractures

Orthopaedic Surgery
Objective Conversion to hip arthroplasty (cHA) is a widely utilized and effective surgical intervention for addressing the failure of internal fixation in intertrochanteric femoral fractures (FIF‐INF).
