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 کاملZ-effect after intramedullary nailing systems for trochanteric femur fractures
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of Z-effect after dual lag screw intramedullary nailing systems and risk factors contributing to this effect. We hypothesized that long nails provide more neck strength due to a longer lever than short nails and are therefore less likely to develop a misbalance of a higher head compressive strength than neck compressive strength. ...
متن کاملTrochanteric Fracture of the Femur
So says the Psalmist, and how forcibly do his words strike us when coinsidlering the conditions which affect the aged. These constitute social, medical and surgical problems with which at present we are not keeping pace. Of the surgical problems, none is more challenging or more vorthy of thoughlt than the trochanteric fracture of the femur-the fracture of the twilight of life. This very specia...
متن کاملProximal Femur Locking Plate for Sub-Trochanteric Femur Fractures: Factors Associated with Failure
INTRODUCTION Proximal femur locking compression plates (PF-LCP) have gained popularity since their inception due to superior biomechanical stability and durability but clinical experience has shown conflicting results including implant failure. OBJECTIVE To study the incidence of implant failure in patients with sub-trochanteric fractures managed with proximal femoral locking compression plat...
متن کامل[Adductor tenotomy in the treatment of trochanteric fractures of the femur].
The study of trochanteric fractures of the femur has received less attention in this country than elsewhere. Conservative treatment has generally been accepted as the only rational treatment and, since the age groups are high, a mortality rate in the neighbourhood of one in five has been regarded as almost inevitable. It is true of course that, if the patient survives, trochanteric fractures do...
