Proximal Femoral Nailing: Technical Difficulties and Results in Trochanteric Fractures
Background: Proximal femoral nailing in communited intertrochanteric fractures is increasingly becoming popular in view of superior biomechanics and prevention of varus collapse associated with Dynamic hip screw. However, technical difficulties and implant related complications have been described with this technique, thus we need more studies to address these issues. Our study aims to understa...
متن کاملProximal Femoral Nailing in Trochanteric Fractures
Trochanteric fractures, one of the commonest fractures treated by an orthopedic surgeon, typically occur in an elderly population with osteoporotic bones, mostly as a result of low velocity injury. The main stay of treatment for these fractures is fixation with screw–side plate device or intramedullary device. Recently, intra-medullary device is gaining popularity due to their distinct biomecha...
متن کاملProximal femoral nail for treatment of trochanteric femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To report outcomes of 87 consecutive patients treated with a proximal femoral nail (PFN) for trochanteric femoral fractures. METHODS 17 men and 70 women aged 58 to 95 (mean, 85) years with trochanteric femoral fractures underwent PFN fixation using an intramedullary nail, a lag screw, and a hip pin. Fractures were classified according to the AO system; the most common fracture type wa...
متن کاملComparison of femoral morphology and bone mineral density between femoral neck fractures and trochanteric fractures.
BACKGROUND Many studies that analyzed bone mineral density (BMD) and skeletal factors of hip fractures were based on uncalibrated radiographs or dual-energy xray absorptiometry (DXA). QUESTIONS/PURPOSES Spatial accuracy in measuring BMD and morphologic features of the femur with DXA is limited. This study investigated differences in BMD and morphologic features of the femur between two types ...
متن کاملRadiation exposure during fixation of femoral trochanteric fractures.
Radiation exposure to the surgeon and patient was measured in 14 patients during internal fixation of trochanteric fractures of the femur. Dosimetry studies were also done to determine the directions of maximum scatter production. The results indicated that the standard lead apron suffices for adequate gonadal and bone marrow shielding but the surgeon is still exposed to significant radiation l...
