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)...

Proximal femur fracture detection on plain radiography via feature pyramid networks
Hip fractures exceed 250,000 cases annually in the United States, with the worldwide incidence projected to increase by 240–310% by 2050. Hip...

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...

Management of Osteoporotic Subtrochanteric Femur Fracture
The subtrochanteric region of femur is defined as the 5-cm segment distal to the lesser trochanter. Fractures of this area can occur as a result of...
-
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...
-
Distal Femur Periprosthetic Fracture Failed Fixation
Due to the rising number of total knee replacements and an aging society, periprosthetic fractures of the distal femur have become a more frequent...

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.

Finite element analysis of proximal femur in sideways fall under quasi-static loading
Many researchers have investigated femur fractures using 3D models created with finite element (FE) software; however, these models need validation....
-
Extracapsular Proximal Femoral Fracture Intramedullary Nailing Failed Fixation
Fixation failure in the proximal femur is an uncommon phenomenon, occurring most commonly as a result of biomechanical failure. This may be due to...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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...
-
Modular intercalary prosthetic reconstruction for malignant and metastatic tumours of the proximal femur
To illustrate the surgical technique and explore clinical outcomes of the reconstruction for the malignant and metastatic bone tumour of proximal...
-
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.

-
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...
