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 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 کاملProximal Femoral Nail Antirotation in Treatment of Fractures of Proximal Femur
INTRODUCTION Fractures of the proximal femur and hip are relatively common injuries in adults and common source of morbidity and mortality among the elderly. 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 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 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...
