Experimental Examination in Trochanteric Fractures using Some Osteosynthesized Materials

Proximal Femoral Nailing in Trochanteric Fractures

Trochanteric fractures, one of the commonest fractures treated by an orthopedic surgeon, typically occur in an elderly population with osteoporotic bones, mostly as a result of low velocity injury. The main stay of treatment for these fractures is fixation with screw–side plate device or intramedullary device. Recently, intra-medullary device is gaining popularity due to their distinct biomecha...

Nail-plate fixation for trochanteric fractures.

Case 2-Woman aged thirty-three. Sanatorium treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis in 1944, with thoracoplasty five years later. Onset of ankylosing spondylitis in 1953, with marked rigid cervical kyphosis. The vital capacity was only 880 cubic centimetres. The deformity was so severe that atlanto-axial dislocation seemed imminent. Operation was undertaken at C.3-4 level with correction as shown (...

Treatment of trochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fractures

The closed reduction of trochanteric fractures.

Closed reduction and internal fixation of trochanteric fractures is one of the commonest procedures in orthopaedic practice. With intracapsular fractures, internal rotation is the position of choice but in the trochanteric region this may cause malunion and impair walking. Evans (1951) suggested that some comminuted trochanteric fractures were best reduced by external rotation and Horn and Wang...

Differential impact of some risk factors on trochanteric and cervical hip fractures.

AIM To investigate the potential distinct risk factors associated with trochanteric and cervical hip fractures. METHODS Elderly patients aged 65 years and older (n = 1161) were admitted to the orthopedic department with hip fractures during the years 2006-2011. Demographic and clinical data, as well as routine blood tests, were retrieved from the patient electronic medical records. RESULTS ...
