Twin hook fixation for proximal femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To report results of twin hook fixation for proximal femoral fractures in comparison to those fixed with the conventional lag screw. METHODS Between August 2005 and July 2006, 2 men and 15 women aged 74 to 94 (mean, 85) years with proximal femoral fractures underwent open reduction and internal fixation using the twin hook system. The tip-apex distance was compared with that in 20 pat...
متن کاملShort proximal femoral nail fixation for trochanteric fractures.
PURPOSE To review outcomes of 100 patients who underwent short proximal femoral nailing for stable and unstable intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS Records of 62 men and 38 women aged 56 to 83 (mean, 67) years who underwent short proximal femoral nailing for stable peritrochanteric A1 (n=36), unstable peritrochanteric A2 (n=40), and unstable intertrochanteric A3 (n=24) fractures were reviewe...
متن کاملProximal femoral locking compression plate for proximal femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To review short-term outcomes of proximal femoral locking compression plate (PF-LCP) fixation for proximal femoral fractures in terms of postoperative complications and failure rates. METHODS Medical records of 21 men and 5 women aged 22 to 85 (mean, 49.7) years who underwent internal fixation with the PF-LCP for proximal femoral fractures were reviewed. Younger patients (mean age, 38...
متن کاملTreatment of proximal femoral fractures
Femoral fractures have to be considered frequent causes of hospital admission for the elderly. These fractures are characterized by an uncertain prognosis in terms of both morbidity and mortality. The management of proximal femoral fractures in the elderly should be multidisciplinary, indeed the fall causing the fracture might follow a neurological, metabolic or cardiovascular disorder. Thus th...
متن کاملSubchondral screw fixation for femoral neck fractures.
We describe a method of internal fixation for femoral neck fractures which has been newly developed to reduce the frequency of early complications. Two cannulated screws are inserted in the axis of the femoral neck to reach into the subchondral bone of the femoral head. The screws are inserted over guide pins and the tip of the screw is self-tapping and designed to provide good anchorage in the...
