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...

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...
-
Description of new sign of integral (∫) for rotational deformity of distal femur
PurposeFemur shaft fractures commonly occur due to high velocity trauma and most of them are fixed with nailing. Malrotation is common after...

Epidemiology of proximal femur fractures in the young population of Qatar
PurposeTo review the epidemiological characteristics of proximal femur fractures in the young population (< 60 years) of Qatar between 2017 and 2019.

The anatomical shape of the proximal femur correlates with the distal femur anatomy
PurposeIn the case of stemmed implants for lower limb joint arthroplasty procedures, implant stability and survivorship generally rely on the...

Megaprosthetic reconstruction of the distal femur with a short residual proximal femur following bone tumor resection: a systematic review
BackgroundTo investigate the risk of postoperative function and complications associated with reconstruction methods in patients with short residual...

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...

Atypical femur fracture in a male without history of bisphosphonate use: a case report
BackgroundAtypical femur fractures are a rare occurrence, especially in bisphosphonate-naïve men, and merit reporting owing to their unusual...

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...
-
Distal femur fractures management and evolution in the last century
PurposeThe purpose of this historical review is to illustrate the progression and evolution of treatment for distal femur fractures.

The morphology of the femoral posterior condyle affects the external rotation of the femur
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to identify factors related to the external rotation of the femur during knee flexion.
MethodsThree-dimensional...

Virtual 3D femur model to assess femoral version: comparison to the 2D axial slice approach
BackgroundQuantifying femoral version is crucial in diagnosing femoral version abnormalities and for accurate pre-surgical planning. There are...

Anatomy of the iliopsoas notch and its relationship with morphology of the proximal femur
PurposeDiscrepancy between the morphology of the acetabular margin and the design of hemispheric acetabular cups used in total hip arthroplasty may...
-
Is Mediolateral Translation of Femur Caused by Total Knee Arthroplasty Being Ignored?
PurposeThis study aims to show the change in overall congruency due to mediolateral translation after total knee arthroplasty compared with normal...

Retrograde intramedullary nailing of the femur: identifying the true anatomic axis for the ideal start point
PurposeRetrograde femoral intramedullary nailing (IMN) is commonly used to treat distal femur fractures. There is variability in the literature...
-
Femur reconstruction in 3D ultrasound for orthopedic surgery planning
PurposeDerotation varisation osteotomy of the proximal femur in pediatric patients usually relies on 2-dimensional X-ray imaging, as CT and MRI still...
-
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...

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...
