Proximal Femoral Fracture After Hip Resurfacing Managed with Blade-Plate Fixation

Proximal femoral fracture after hip resurfacing managed with blade-plate fixation. A case report.

Internal fixation of a traumatic fracture around a hip resurfacing arthroplasty using the proximal femoral locking compression plate.

We report on a 40-year-old man who sustained a traumatic extracapsular fracture of the proximal femur with a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing in situ. It was decided to retain the resurfacing implant and a proximal femoral periarticular locking compression plate (Synthes) was used to stabilise the fracture. The patient regained full range of pain-free movement, and was bearing his full weight on the ...

Distal Femoral Osteotomy in Genovalgum: Internal Fixation with Blade Plate Versus Casting

Background:   To compare the results of two different ways of distal femoral osteotomy stabilization in patients suffering from genuvalgum: internal fixation with plate, and casting. Methods:   In a non-randomized prospective study, after distal femoral osteotomy with the zigzag method, patients were divided into two groups: long leg casting, and internal fixation with blade plate. For all pati...

A comparative study of proximal femoral fracture fixation with proximal femoral nail and Dynamic hip screw & plating

Introduction: Trochanteric fractures are one of the commonest injuries sustained predominantly in patients over sixty years of age. They are three to four times more common in women than in men. These usually occur through bone affected by osteoporosis; trivial fall being the most common mechanism of injury [1]. Discussion: The goal of this study was to compare the functional outcomes of patien...

Implant failure in a proximal femoral fracture treated with dynamic hip screw fixation

Dynamic hip screw fixation is a common orthopaedic procedure and to date, still can cause difficulties to the senior trauma surgeon. We present a case where an extra-capsular fracture of the proximal femur was managed with a dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation. She proceeded to the operating theatre, where the fracture was stabilized with a 75-mm DHS and short-barrelled plate. The implant position...
