چکیده

The death rate 6 and 12 months after surgery in 389 patients who had been treated for fracture of the proximal femur between 1989 and 1993 (1st semester) was studied. All of the patients submitted to surgery were traced through the official records on the population of the City of Padova. The overall death rate after 6 months was 16%, that after 12 months 23%. The best survival rate was observed in patients who had been submitted to gamma nail arthroplasty (p < 0.01).

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...

Open vertical sagittal fracture patella with fracture lateral condyle femur: approach to a rare injury

Patellar fracture is a relatively uncommon fracture especially the vertical sagittal type. In cases of high energy trauma injury, it is usually associated with fracture of ipsilateral distal femur or proximal tibia. However, the combination of vertical sagittal fracture patella and ipsilateral fracture lateral condyle is very rare. This necessitates judicious diagnosis and appropriate managemen...
