Treatment of Unstable Trochanteric Femur Fractures: Proximal Femur Nail Versus Proximal Femur Locking Compression Plate.
Unstable trochanteric femur fractures are common fractures that are difficult to manage. We conducted a prospective study to compare functional outcomes and complications of 2 different implant designs, proximal femur nail (PFN) and proximal femur locking compression plate (PFLCP), used in internal fixation of unstable trochanteric femur fractures. On hospital admission, 48 patients with unstab...
متن کاملSurgical Treatment of Pathological Fractures Occurring at the Proximal Femur
PURPOSE To analyze the results of surgical treatment for pathological fractures at the proximal femur. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients with a pathological fracture were included. The mean age was 65.7 years old. The patients comprised 8 males and 11 females. Primary tumors, types of pathological fractures, surgical procedures, and postoperative complications were recorded. Musculoskel...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of fractures through metastases in the proximal femur.
One-sixth of all fractures through skeletal metastases are in the proximal fourth of the femur (Clam 1965). Closed treatment in general leads to union in only 5 per cent of fractures through metastases (Clam !oc. cit.), and in the hip region Francis, Higinbotham, Carroll, Jacobs and Graham (1962) have never found union. The period of survival after fracture averages eight months, and functional...
متن کاملThe effect of alendronate treatment on cortical thickness of the proximal femur in postmenopausal women
Background: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are used extensively for managing the osteoporosis. There are some controversies on atypical fractures of femur that associated with increase in cortical thickness (CT) and BPs’ use. In this study, the effects of alendronate consumption were studied on femoral CT as a predictor for atypical fracture. Methods: Forty nine post-menopausal women age...
متن کاملA retrospective analysis of surgically-treated complex proximal femur fractures with proximal femoral locking compression plate☆
Objective Analyze the outcomes of proximal femoral locking compression plate (PF-LCP) in these complex fractures. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 21 proximal femoral fractures treated with PF-LCP from June 2013 to February 2015. There were 15 females (71%) and six males (29%) with an average age of 61.4 years (range: 34-80 years). The peritrochanteric fractures constituted by inte...
