Occult Intertrochanteric Fracture Mimicking the Fracture of Greater Trochanter
PURPOSE Occult intertrochanteric fractures are misdiagnosed as isolated greater trochanteric fractures in some cases. We investigated the utility of three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis and outcome management of occult intertrochanteric fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study involved 23 cases of greater trochanteric fractures...
متن کاملLower Bone Mineral Density is Associated with Intertrochanteric Hip Fracture
Background: A better understanding of how bone mineral density and vitamin D levels are associated with femoralneck and intertrochanteric hip fractures may help inform healthcare providers. We asked: 1) In patients age ≥ 55 years,is there a difference in quantitative ultrasound of the heel (QUS) t-score between patients with fractures of the femoralneck and those with fractures of the intertroc...
متن کاملOutcomes of Cephalomedullary Nailing in Basicervical Fracture
Purpose A basicervical femoral fracture is defined as a fracture of base of neck of femur that occurs medially from intertrochanteric line above lesser trochanter. In this study, we intended to evaluate radiological and clinical results of basicervical femoral fractures treated by intramedullary nailing. Materials and Methods Fifteen patients, who underwent intramedullary nailing among 50 pat...
متن کاملAre Cephalomedullary Nail Guides Accurate? A Case Report of an Unexpected Complication After Nailing an Intertrochanteric Femoral Fracture
Intramedullary nailing is the mainstay of treatment for unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures. Various complications have been described with the use of these nails. We report an unusual complication whereby the lag screw completely missed the nail. We hypothesize that this previously unreported complication may be related to a specific flexible carbon fiber aiming device. Surgeon awareness ...
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...
