Hip Fracture Nonunions: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Special Considerations in Elderly Patients

Advances in Orthopedics, 2018
In the United States, more than 300,000 hip fractures occur annually in the elderly population with associated significant morbidity and mortality. Both intracapsular and extracapsular hip fractures have inherent treatment challenges and therefore are at

Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) versus Plating in Pediatric Subtrochanteric Femur Fractures

SVU - International Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Pediatric subtrochanteric femur fractures are uncommon but pose unique challenges due to the biomechanical forces acting on this region. Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) and Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) are widely used ...

A Biomechanical Comparison of Two Intramedullary Implants for Subtrochanteric Fracture in Two Healing Stages: A Finite Element Analysis

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2015
Background. The biomechanical effect of two implants, namely, proximal femoral nail antirotation for Asia (PFNA-II) and Expert Asian Femoral Nail (A2FN), for treating subtrochanteric fracture during healing stages, is still unclear. Methods.

Periprosthetic subtrochanteric femoral fracture in a megaprosthesis of the knee

Chinese Journal of Traumatology, 2013
【Abstract】We report a rare case of periprosthetic posttraumatic fracture of subtrochanteric region of femur after a megaprosthesis of the knee, done for resistant nonunion of distal femur with secondary osteoarthrosis in a 51 years old man.

A secondary atypical diaphyseal femoral fracture after intramedullary nailing for an atypical subtrochanteric femoral fracture: A case report

Trauma Case Reports
Intramedullary nailing is the gold standard of treatment for atypical femoral fractures, with a few reports of secondary atypical subtrochanteric femoral fractures following intramedullary nailing for atypical diaphyseal femoral fractures. However, there

Establishment of Subtrochanteric Fracture in Pre‐Clinical Animal Model

Orthopaedic Surgery
Objective About 7%–34% of the femur fracture contributes to subtrochanteric fracture, and only very little research is available about these fractures when compared to common hip fractures.

Fractures of the proximal femur and hip osteoarthrosis – coincidence or coherence?

SICOT-J
Purpose: The current study aimed to investigate the correlation between the grade of radiographic hip osteoarthritis (OA) and the fracture pattern observed in fragility fractures of the proximal femur.

Bisphosphonates and atypical subtrochanteric fractures of the femur

Bone & Joint Research, 2017
ObjectivesBisphosphonates are widely used as first-line treatment for primary and secondary prevention of fragility fractures. Whilst they have proved effective in this role, there is growing concern over their long-term use, with much evidence linking bisphosphonate-related suppression of bone remodelling to an increased risk of atypical ...

Lateral cortical notching for impaired healing of extra‑articular proximal femur fractures (case report)

Гений oртопедии
Introduction Dynamization of the nail can be used to improve osteoreparation during intramedullary interlocking nailing (IIN). The procedure can be difficult to perform in some sub- and intertrochanteric femoral fractures due to anatomical and ...

Subtrochanteric fracture location effect on surgical management using intermedullary nail (IMN) versus extramedullary plate (EMP): a finite element method analysis [PDF]

European Journal of Translational and Clinical Medicine
Background: Finite element method (FEM) analysis of the subtrochanteric fracture (STF) location effect in the subtrochanteric region (STR) fixated with the intermedullary nail (IMN) versus extramedullary plate (EMP) implant. Material and methods: A femur
