Anticoagulation therapy and proximal femoral fracture treatment
Approximately 77 000 proximal hip fractures occur in the United Kingdom annually, accounting for 1.5 million beddays, at an inpatient cost of £2 billion.1,2 The majority of them (65 000) occur in England, with a median post-operative length of stay (LOS) of 23 days and a 30-day mortality of between approximately 8% and 10% which has remained constant for the last two decades.2 The majority (95%...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis for the Treatment of Proximal Femoral Fracture
Dynamic hip screw and gamma nail have been widely used to treat the patients with proximal femoral fractures, but clinical failures of those implants are still to be found. This study developed three-dimensional finite element models to investigate the biomechanical performances of the implants. Two kinds of commercially available implants (dynamic hip screw and gamma nail) and one newly design...
متن کاملProximal femoral fracture: achievements and prospects.
Patients with proximal femoral fracture occupy 20% of all orthopaedic beds at any one time [1]. In postmenopausal women, proximal femoral fracture accounts for more bed days annually than breast cancer, acute myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Most people with a proximal femoral fracture are old: 90% are older than 65 and 75% are older than 75. Mo...
متن کامل[Proximal focal femoral deficiency complicated by a proximal femur fracture].
Proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is a rare skeletal condition characterized by development failure of the subtrochanteric region of the femoral axis, with several degrees of shortening of the proximal region. There are no case reports of patients with this condition associated with a subtrochanteric fracture. We therefore describe herein the case of a newborn patient with clinical and r...
متن کاملComparative study of the proximal femoral nail antirotation versus the reconstruction nail in the treatment of comminuted proximal femoral fracture.
The purpose of our study was to compare the proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA; Synthes, Paoli, Pennsylvania) with a reconstruction nail (Recon; Zimmer, Warsaw, Indiana) in the treatment of comminuted proximal femoral fractures. Between 2003 and 2010, twenty-three consecutive patients with AO/Orthopaedic Trauma Association 31-A3 fractures combined with proximal 32 fractures who had a mini...
