A new hip fracture risk index derived from FEA-computed proximal femur fracture loads and energies-to-failure
SummaryHip fracture risk assessment is an important but challenging task. Quantitative CT-based patient-specific finite element (FE) analysis (FEA)...

Relationship between muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue size and density and proximal femur bone in elderly women with hip fracture
BackgroundBoth osteoporosis and sarcopenia are associated with aging, increasing the likelihood of falls in older adults and consequently raising the...

The clinical implications of using a low threshold for computed tomography scans in older patients presenting with a proximal femur fracture
PurposeCurrent guidelines recommend a low threshold for computerized tomography (CT) scanning in older patients presenting with low-energy trauma...
-
Which non-infection related risk factors are associated with impaired proximal femur fracture healing in patients under the age of 70 years?
Background/purposeImpaired healing is a feared complication with devastating outcomes for each patient. Most studies focus on geriatric fracture...
-
Modification to Mirels scoring system location component improves fracture prediction for metastatic disease of the proximal femur
BackgroundCorrectly identifying patients at risk of femoral fracture due to metastatic bone disease remains a clinical challenge. Mirels criteria...

Biomechanical changes in the proximal femur before and after removal of femoral neck system
BackgroundAsan innovative internal fixation system, FNS (femoral neck system) is increasingly being utilized by surgeons for the treatment of...
-
Measurement of Hounsfield units on proximal femur computed tomography for predicting regional osteoporosis
ObjectiveThis study was designed to investigate the use of proximal femoral Hounsfield units (HU) in conventional abdominal and pelvic computed...
-
History of proximal femur fractures in the German literature
IntroductionGerman-speaking surgeons have left a deep imprint on the history of diagnostics and treatment of proximal femur fractures. Some of the...
-
Management of patients with proximal femur fractures under DOACs
PurposeIn the past, preinjury direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) intake has led to delays in time to surgery (TTS) in patients with proximal femur...
-
Cost-effectiveness analysis of surgical proximal femur fracture prevention in elderly: a Markov cohort simulation model
BackgroundHip fractures are a common and costly health problem, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality, as well as high costs for...
-
Secondary fracture and mortality risk with very high fracture risk osteoporosis and proximal femoral fracture
IntroductionWe aimed to investigate secondary fracture and mortality rates, and risk factors in patients with proximal femoral fractures.

Risk of reverse golf club deformity with medial plating of distal femur fracture
IntroductionThis study described a deformity induced by medial plating of supracondylar distal femur fractures using plates that are precontoured for...
-
Factors associated with mortality after proximal femoral fracture
Proximal femoral fractures are a serious complication, especially for elderly patients. Therefore, we have aimed to answer the following research...
-
Patients risk for mortality at 90 days after proximal femur fracture – a retrospective study in a tertiary care hospital
BackgroundDespite improving the management of proximal femur fractures (PFF) with legal requirements of timing the surgery within 24 h, mortality...
-
Early peri-implant fractures after distal femur fracture locked plating?
PurposeTo report the peri-implant fracture rates after locked plating of distal femur fractures and examine risk factors.
MethodsOver a 7 year...
-
Numerical evaluation of internal femur osteosynthesis based on a biomechanical model of the loading in the proximal equine hindlimb
Femoral fractures are often considered lethal for adult horses because femur osteosynthesis is still a surgical challenge. For equine femur...
-
Time to surgery after proximal femur fracture in geriatric patients depends on hospital size and provided level of care: analysis of the Registry for Geriatric Trauma (ATR-DGU)
PurposeProximal femur fractures predominantly affect older patients and can mark a drastic turning point in their lives. To avoid complications and...
