Quantitative 3-dimensional Computerized Tomography Modeling of Isolated Greater Tuberosity Fractures with and without Shoulder Dislocation
Background: The aim of this study was to assess differences in fracture morphology and displacement betweenisolated greater tuberosity (GT) fractures (i.e. fractures of the greater tuberosity without other fractures of the proximalhumerus) with and without shoulder dislocation utilizing quantitative 3-dimensional CT imaging.Methods: Thirty-four CT-scans of isolated greater tuberosity fractures ...
متن کاملTuberculosis of the Greater Trochanter
Objective: To present four cases of tuberculosis of the greater trochanter. Case Presentation and Intervention: The four cases (3 females and 1 male), aged 45–70 years, presented with mechanical pain in the trochanteric area associated with progressive swelling in the 3 female patients in whom mobility was also restricted. X-ray revealed a mass in 2 females; CT scan and MRI exhibited an abscess...
متن کاملIntramedullary nailing appears to be superior in pertrochanteric hip fractures with a detached greater trochanter
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In recent years, intramedullary nails (INs) for the treatment of pertrochanteric hip fractures have gained prominence relative to conventional, sliding hip screws (SHSs). There is little empirical background for this development, however. A previous series of ours suggested that the use of SHS was not adequate in situations with fragile or fractured lateral femoral walls,...
متن کاملGreater Trochanter Reconstruction in Unstabl Intertrochanteric Fractures Treated With Cemented Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty: A Technical Note
Cemented Bipolar arthroplasty is an established method for treatment of comminuted Intertrochanteric fractures. Reconstruction of greater trochanter is an essential technical step to avoid complications like abductor lurch gait. We here describe a technique of reconstruction and fixation of greater trochanter using cancellous screws with wide washers made of reconstruction plate and tension ban...
متن کاملUse of locking plates for fixation of the greater trochanter in patients with hip replacement
BACKGROUND Fixation of the greater trochanter with total hip replacement is challenging and associated with short- and long-term complications. Locking plate technology has been used for fixation of other bones and may be applied successfully in trochanteric fixation. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the utility of the use of trochanteric locking plates in total hip arthro...
