Trochanteric Fracture of the Femur
So says the Psalmist, and how forcibly do his words strike us when coinsidlering the conditions which affect the aged. These constitute social, medical and surgical problems with which at present we are not keeping pace. Of the surgical problems, none is more challenging or more vorthy of thoughlt than the trochanteric fracture of the femur-the fracture of the twilight of life. This very specia...
متن کاملEffects of Hip Geometry on Fracture Patterns of Proximal Femur
Background: Some studies have previously shown that geometry of proximal femur can affect the probability of fracture and type of fracture. It happens since the geometry of the proximal femur determines how a force is applied to its different parts. In this study, we have compared proximal femur’s geometric characteristics in femoral neck (FNF), intertrochanteric (ITF) and Subtrochanteric (ST...
متن کاملIntertrochanteric Femur Fracture Stability
INTRODUCTION Intertrochanteric (IT) femur fractures are common in elderly patients who are often in poor general health. Intertrochanteric fractures are classified as stable or unstable, taking into account fracture morphology and involvement of the posteromedial calcar. The purpose of this study is to determine whether IT fracture stability can be used as a marker for general health or as a pr...
متن کامل0758 - Fatigue Fracture of the Proximal Femur
INTRODUCTION In the United States, there are over 300,000 hip fractures annually, resulting in over $13 billion in medical costs (1). About 90% of these have been reported to be the consequence of falls (1). The remaining 10% are thought to be the result of fatigue of the bone tissue (spontaneous fracture). Repeated falls may increase fracture risk by affecting the integrity of the bone tissue;...
متن کاملOsteochondroma fracture at the distal medial femur.
The patient was a 27-year-old man currently serving in the military who was evaluated by a physical therapist in a direct-access mode of care for a chief complaint of worsening left distal medial thigh pain. Given the traumatic mechanism of injury, worsening symptoms, and the presence of a painful, firm mass in the left distal medial thigh region, the physical therapist ordered radiographs of t...
