Treatment of Unstable Trochanteric Femur Fractures: Proximal Femur Nail Versus Proximal Femur Locking Compression Plate.
Unstable trochanteric femur fractures are common fractures that are difficult to manage. We conducted a prospective study to compare functional outcomes and complications of 2 different implant designs, proximal femur nail (PFN) and proximal femur locking compression plate (PFLCP), used in internal fixation of unstable trochanteric femur fractures. On hospital admission, 48 patients with unstab...
متن کاملBone Fluoride in Proximal Femur Fractures
Bone fluoride concentration and bone mineral density (BMD) were evaluated in 51 female patients who had undergone hip arthroplasty due to proximal femur fracture. The hip fractures were divided into 42 neck and head fractures and 9 trochanteric fractures. BMD in the contralateral femoral neck and Ward triangle was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measurement performed within 7 day...
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...
متن کاملClassifying intertrochanteric fractures of the proximal femur: does experience matter?
OBJECTIVE This prospective study aimed to evaluate inter-observer agreement of the AO/OTA and Evans/Jensen classification systems with an emphasis on the effect of reviewer experience. In addition, the level of agreement in the determination of fracture stability across varying levels of experience was evaluated. SUBJECT AND METHODS A group of 12 reviewers (6 surgeons, 3 senior residents, 3 j...
متن کاملFractures of the proximal part of the femur.
The orthopaedic surgeon has a multitude of internal fixation devices and techniques available for use in the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures of the proximal femur. The successful use of second-generation locking nails is technically demanding. Close attention to positioning of the patient, reduction of the fracture, placement of the guide-wire, and insertion of the nail and of the proxim...
