Tip Apex Distance: a useful method to assess extra-capsular neck of femur fixation?
The Tip Apex Distance (TAD) is a simple measurement that predicts screw cut-out in the femoral head from trochanteric fractures treated with a fixed angle sliding hip screw device [1]. It uses a numerical value to show placement of the screw in the head: higher values indicating higher likelihood of fixation failure by extrusion of the screw. Currently the cost of hip fracture care in the UK is...
متن کاملA new device to treat intra-capsular fracture neck of femur non-union
In adolescents and young adults, femoral neck fractures often result from high-velocity trauma. These fractures are usually of vertical shear pattern. There is an increased incidence of avascular necrosis and non-union, which is difficult to treat. Non-union of fractured neck of femur in young adults is a serious problem. There is growing evidence that these fractures should be treated with an ...
متن کاملManagement of an unusual intra- and extra-capsular subcapital femoral neck fracture.
Femoral neck fractures are common in the elderly after low-energy falls. They are broadly grouped into either intracapsular or extracapsular fractures. We report an unusual subcapital femoral neck intra-extracapsular fracture and discuss the management of such a case with its inherent problems.
متن کاملPeriprosthetic Femur Fracture Occuring after Contralateral Neglected Femoral Neck Fracture
INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic fractures of the femur are uncommon, but at times may lead to complications especially in elderly patients. As treatment of these fractures is difficult, prevention by identifying the risk factors is the best way to overcome these complex problems. CASE REPORT A periprosthetic right femur fracture associated with a neglected left femoral neck fracture in the contra...
متن کاملFracture of neck of the femur: changing incidence.
From 1959 to 1977 the numbers of hospital admissions for fracture of the neck of the femur increased by a factor of 2.7. Detailed analysis of data from the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry for 1968-77 showed that the increase applied to both sexes and at all ages over 45. The true incidence rate increased in parallel with the admission rate, and only a small part of the increased number of admission...
