Morphology of the femur in proximal femoral fractures.
We studied the morphology of the contralateral femur in 10 patients with subcapital fractures, 10 with trochanteric fractures and 10 with unilateral osteoarthritis. We found that the patients with trochanteric fractures had a significantly shorter femoral neck (4.5 +/- 0.5 cm) than patients with subcapital fractures or osteoarthritis (5.4 +/- 0.4 cm). It may be that this difference in femoral n...
متن کاملSurgical Management Of Proximal Femur Fractures By Proximal Femoral Nail
Background and Objectives: Proximal third fractures of femur like intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures, are a leading cause of hospital admissions in elderly people. The number of such admissions is on a raise because of increasing life span and sedentary habits. Conservative methods of treatment results in malunion with shortening and limitation of hip movement as well as complicati...

Many methods have been recommended for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospective analyzed all the patients with fractures of the hip treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) at the ...
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...

The management of proximal femoral fractures in the elderly should be multidisciplinary, indeed the fall causing the fracture might follow a neurological, metabolic or cardiovascular disorder. Thus th...
