Surgically Relevant Bony and Soft Tissue Anatomy of the Proximal Femur

Surgically Relevant Bony and Soft Tissue Anatomy of the Proximal Femur

BACKGROUND Hip endoscopy facilitates the treatment of extra-articular disorders of the proximal femur. Unfortunately, current knowledge of proximal femur anatomy is limited to qualitative descriptions and lacks surgically relevant landmarks. PURPOSE To provide a quantitative and qualitative analysis of proximal femur anatomy in reference to surgically relevant bony landmarks. STUDY DESIGN D...

A retrospective analysis of surgically-treated complex proximal femur fractures with proximal femoral locking compression plate☆

Objective Analyze the outcomes of proximal femoral locking compression plate (PF-LCP) in these complex fractures. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 21 proximal femoral fractures treated with PF-LCP from June 2013 to February 2015. There were 15 females (71%) and six males (29%) with an average age of 61.4 years (range: 34-80 years). The peritrochanteric fractures constituted by inte...

Effects 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...

Bony Versus Soft Tissue Reconstruction for Anterior Shoulder Instability

BACKGROUND One complication of anteroinferior glenohumeral shoulder dislocation is a critical bone defect that requires surgical repair to prevent recurrent instability. However, controversy exists regarding the surgical management because both open and arthroscopic surgeries have respective advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, it is difficult to determine the patient's preferred treatment, ...
