Fractures of the Distal Femur Fractures of the Distal Femur
The distal end of the femur traditionally encompasses the lower third of this bone. This zone varies greatly in the literature, from the distal 7.6 cm to the distal 15 cm of the femur. This chapter deals only with fractures that involve the supracondylar (metaphyseal) or intercondylar (epiphyseal) areas of the distal end of the femur. Distal femoral fractures that are purely diaphyseal are disc...
متن کاملAtraumatic intracapsular neck of femur fractures after prolonged bisphosphonate treatment: a new atypical variant?
We present 2 cases of elderly females presenting with atraumatic, near-vertical (Pauwells grade 3), intracapsular neck of femur fractures. Following diagnosis of osteoporosis on DEXA scans, they had received alendronic acid for 7 and 10 years respectively. Routine blood tests and serum estimations of calcium, vitamin-D and thyroid-stimulating hormone, done at admission, were within the normal r...
متن کاملFractures of the Femur
External fixation was used in the treatment of 154 intertrochanteric fractures of the femur over a period of eight years. Good fixation and early ambulation was achieved in all cases. Blood loss was slight. There were 12 deaths due to medical causes unrelated to the surgical procedure. Deep pin-track infection occurred in six cases and late displacement of the fracture fragments in nine. The av...
متن کاملInterprosthetic Fractures of the Femur.
As the rate of hip and knee arthroplasty procedures increases, so will the rate of interprosthetic fractures. Several factors, including bone quality, bone quantity, and stability of the prosthetic components, play a role in determining the appropriate operative treatment. Patients with stable components should undergo reduction and internal fixation, while patients with loose components should...
متن کاملManagement of periprosthetic fractures of the femur
Periprosthetic fractures occur around the tip of the prosthesis in approximately 0.1% to 2.5% of all hip replacements [1]. Although this is only a very small percentage, it is still significant due to the large number of hip procedures undertaken each year and is certain to increase because of the ageing population. When the prosthesis is not loose, the condition is difficult to treat because o...
