Subtrochanteric Fracture of Femur

JAMA, 1961
Dr. W. H. Harris: A 12-year-old girl was admitted to the Massachusetts General Hospital approximately 45 minutes after having been run over by a truck. She had not lost consciousness. Her past medical history was not remarkable except for an appendectomy one year previously. She was in moderate discomfort at the time of admission.

Subtrochanteric Femoral Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002
Fractures in the subtrochanteric zone of the proximal femur present complex treatment challenges. These treatment difficulties are related to the anatomic and biomechanic features that are unique to this area. These fractures occur in older patients from low-energy trauma and in younger patients with high-energy trauma, with separate diagnostic and ...

Subtrochanteric Fractures of the Femur

2000
Fractures of the proximal femur occur predominantly in elderly patients and have a tremendous impact on the health care system. Approximately 250 000 fractures of the proximal femur occur in the United States each year [1], and this number is projected to double by the year 2050 as the population ages [2].

Subtrochanteric Fractures of the Femur

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1979
A review of 130 patients with subtrochanteric fractures of the femur has led to a new classification based upon fracture pattern. Type I is a short oblique, Type II a long oblique, and Type III any comminuted fracture of the subtrochanteric area. Twenty-two patients were treated with traction and 108 patients treated by surgical operation.

Femur Fractures: Subtrochanteric.

Instructional course lectures, 2021
Femur fractures range from simple oblique or transverse fractures to complex, comminuted types. The reduction and fixation of these fractures can be challenging, with difficulty in attaining fracture alignment, length, and rotation. Added to this complexity can be associated bone loss in open fractures.

Management of Subtrochanteric Fractures of the Femur in Children

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1998
We report the results of treatment in 99 children with subtrochanteric fractures of the femur. Late reviews of 60 of the 65 children treated with traction and then a hip spica after stabilization of the fracture by callus, and of 20 of the 22 treated with early closed reduction and a hip spica yielded 80% satisfactory outcomes.

Subtrochanteric Femur Fractures

2017
Subtrochanteric femur fractures are significant injuries that despite surgery can lead to relatively high rates of nonunion, malunion, and subsequent poor clinical outcomes.

Unstable Intertrochanteric/Subtrochanteric Fractures of the Femur

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1990
The unstable intertrochanteric/subtrochanteric fracture, as identified by the modified Müller classification, should be considered a separate entity with its own problems. It can be highly unstable; none of the orthopedic appliances has been designed with this fracture in mind. Compression screws yield better results than Enders rods in these fractures.

Subtrochanteric fractures of the femur

The American Journal of Surgery, 1943
Abstract The posterior approach offers a much easier and simplified method of operating upon subtrochanteric fractures of the femur. In suitable cases, when a satisfactory reduction cannot be obtained by other methods, we believe that an early use of this procedure will be followed by better results, less inconvenience to the patients and a shorter ...

Operative Stabilization of Subtrochanteric Fractures of the Femur

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1990
The records and radiographs of 35 patients with 36 fractures of the subtrochanteric area of the femur stabilized by either angle blade plate (ABP) or dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of these two implants in the management of these injuries.
