Subtrochanteric fractures of the femur: update

Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia, 2016
Because of the anatomical peculiarities of the subtrochanteric region, treatment of fractures in this region remains challenging. The undeniable evolution of implants has not been accompanied by the expected decrease in the complication rate.

Does the distal screw location in the Biplane double-supported screw fixation technique affect the risk of subtrochanteric fractures after femoral neck fixation? A finite element analysis [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Research indicates that in the traditional method of cannulated screw fixation for femoral neck fractures, placing the distal screw beyond the lesser trochanter increases the risk of subtrochanteric fractures.

Bisphosphonate-Associated Atypical Femoral Fractures: A Description of Surgical Techniques in the Revision Fixation Setting With an Emphasis on Avoiding Varus Malalignment: A Two-Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Orthop
Introduction Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are insufficiency fractures of the lateral femoral cortex and represent a rare but significant complication of long‐term bisphosphonate or denosumab therapy. Our report explores the surgical techniques utilised to avoid varus malalignment in these two complex cases, both of which fulfilled the American ...

Lateral decubitus positioning was associated with improved efficiency and functional outcome compared with traction table positioning for cephalomedullary nailing of subtrochanteric femur fractures: a retrospective comparative study [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Subtrochanteric femur fractures are challenging to treat due to complex anatomy and high mechanical stresses. Cephalomedullary nailing is the standard treatment, often performed with the patient supine on a traction table, but this can prolong

Bisphosphonates and atypical subtrochanteric fractures of the femur

Bone and 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 ...
