Salvage total hip arthroplasty after failed internal fixation for proximal femur and acetabular fractures
BackgroundTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) is the treatment of choice for posttraumatic arthritis with failed internal fixation for hip fractures....

Automatic detection and classification of peri-prosthetic femur fracture
PurposeObject classification and localization is a key task of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tool. Although there have been numerous generic deep...

Hip reconstruction using a customized intercalary prosthesis with the rhino horn-designed uncemented stem for ultrashort proximal femur segments following tumor resection: a combined biomechanical and clinical study
BackgroundHip-preserved reconstruction for patients with ultrashort proximal femur segments following extensive femoral diaphyseal tumor resection is...

Intramedullary nailing versus cemented plate for treating metastatic pathological fracture of the proximal humerus: a comparison study and literature review
BackgroundPathological fracture of the humerus causes severe pain, limited use of the hand, and decreased quality of life. This study aimed to...
-
Can Lateral Offset Be Used as a Predictive Marker for Proximal Femur Disorders?
PurposeWhen the lateral offset (LO) changes, the forces acting on the head and neck of the femur change. Increase or decrease in LO can cause...

Effective Treatment of Femur Diaphyseal Fracture with Compression Plate – A Finite Element and In Vivo Study Comparing the Healing Outcomes of Nailing and Plating
BackgroundThe rigidity in osteosynthesis causes primary healing, and it takes longer to heal. The flexibility provided to the fixation allows...

Titanium versus stainless steel alloy bridge plates for distal femur fractures: Does callus form earlier with titanium?
IntroductionDistal femur fractures account for 3–6% of all femur fractures. Internal fixation of most distal femur fractures with an anatomic lateral...

Does the type of medial plate fixation matter for supplemental fixation of distal femur fractures manage with a lateral pre-contoured locked plate? A Biomechanical study
IntroductionFixation of distal femur fractures with a lateral pre-contoured locking plate provides stable fixation and is the standard treatment in...

Silent iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm after intertrochanteric fracture fixation with proximal femoral nailing and cerclage wiring: case report and review of literature
Pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication after intertrochanteric fracture fixation. Herein, we present a rare case of late development of a...

Patient-specific risk factors for adverse outcomes following geriatric proximal femur fractures
BackgroundProximal femur fractures (PFFs) occur frequently among geriatric patients due to diverse risk factors, such as a lower bone mineral density...
-
Predicting the deltoid tuberosity index in proximal humerus fractures using fracture characteristics and patient age: development of the LBQ-PHF score
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate (1) whether fracture pattern and age are associated with local bone quality (LBQ), and (2) whether...

How does proximal femur BMD of healthy Irish adults compare to NHANES III? Results of the DXA-HIP Project
SummaryThis study examines the distribution of proximal femur bone mineral density in a cohort of healthy Irish adults. These values are similar to...
-
In France, distance from hospital and health care structure impact on outcome after arthroplasty of the hip for proximal fractures of the femur
BackgroundHip arthroplasty is a frequently performed procedure in orthopedic surgery, carried out in almost all health structures for two main...
-
Improved outcomes and reduced medical costs through multidisciplinary co-management protocol for geriatric proximal femur fractures: a one-year retrospective study
BackgroundTo manage the rapidly growing incidence of, and related medical burden resulting from hip fractures in older adults in an aging society,...

Rates of interlock screw back-out are high with the retrograde femoral nailing advanced system for distal femur fractures
PurposeThe retrograde femoral nailing advanced (RFNA) system (DePuy synthes) is a commonly used implant for the fixation of low distal femur and...
-
Finite element analysis of medial closing and lateral opening wedge osteotomies of the distal femur in relation to hinge fractures
PurposeIntraoperative hinge fractures in distal femur osteotomies represent a risk factor for loss of alignment and non-union. Using finite element...

Progression of atypical femur stress fracture after discontinuation of bisphosphonate therapy
Atypical femur fracture (AFF) is an uncommon complication of long-term bisphosphonate use, but the risk declines substantially after treatment...
-
Development of an open-source measurement system to assess the areal bone mineral density of the proximal femur from clinical CT images
SummaryCommercial software is generally needed to measure the areal bone mineral density (aBMD) of the proximal femur from clinical computed...
