Subtrochanteric Fracture following Removal of a Porous Tantalum Implant

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2013
Osteonecrosis of the hip accounts for about 10% of all total hip arthroplasty cases and presents a significant challenge for those patients with and without femoral head collapse.

Fixation of Subtrochanteric Fracture of the Femur: Our Experience [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2012
Introduction: Subtrochanteric fracture of the femur is a variant of the peritrochanteric fracture of the femur. It extends upto 5 cm below the lesser trochanter. The incidence is relatively much lower (3.9% of all the proximal femoral fractures).

Modification to Mirels scoring system location component improves fracture prediction for metastatic disease of the proximal femur

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background Correctly identifying patients at risk of femoral fracture due to metastatic bone disease remains a clinical challenge. Mirels criteria remains the most widely referenced method with the advantage of being easily calculated but it suffers from

Biomechanical Behavior of Dynamic vs. Static Distal Locking Intramedullary Nails in Subtrochanteric Femur Fractures

Bioengineering, 2023
Objective: Hip fractures are one of the most frequent fractures presenting to the emergency department and orthopedic trauma teams. The aim of this study was to determine the best indication and therapeutic technique for subtrochanteric fractures and ...

Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty After an Iatrogenic Subtrochanteric Fracture due to Hardware Removal: A Case Report [PDF]

Hospital Practices and Research, 2019
Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after proximal femoral fixation is a challenging procedure due to possible hardware-related complications. Case presentation: A 78-year-old female with hip osteoarthritis had a proximal femoral osteotomy fixed ...

Atypical femoral neck fracture after prolonged bisphosphonate therapy [PDF]

Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine, 2020
Of the drugs developed to prevent and treat osteoporosis, bisphosphonate has played a very important role in preventing osteoporotic fractures. However, case reports describing atypical femoral fractures in patients using long-term bisphosphonates have ...

Results of proximal femoral nailing in subtrochanteric fracture of femur in adults

Journal of Orthopaedic Diseases and Traumatology, 2022
Introduction: Subtrochanteric fractures occur in a zone extending from the lesser trochanter to 5 cm distal to the lesser trochanter, however, extension into the intertrochanteric region is common.

Subsequent ipsi- and contralateral femoral fractures after intramedullary nailing of a trochanteric or subtrochanteric fracture: a cohort study on 2012 patients

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background The literature is inconclusive as to whether an intramedullary nail changes the distribution of a subsequent ipsi- or contralateral fracture of the femur. We have compared the incidence, localisation, and fracture pattern of subsequent femoral

Further understanding on osteopetrotic femoral fractures: a case report and literature review

BMC Surgery, 2021
Background Osteopetrosis is a genetic disease characterized by defects in osteoclast formation and function. There were a few cases of subtrochanteric femur fractures treated with dynamic hip screw (DHS) in patients with osteopetrosis, but unfortunately ...

Management of Pathological Subtrochanteric Fractures in Two Patients with Osteopetrosis

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports
Introduction: Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by increased bone density due to defective osteoclast function, leading to brittle bones prone to pathological fractures.
