Low - energy trauma - induced intercondylar femoral fracture Case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a 44-year-old female patient with recurrent fragility fractures including an intercondylar femoral fracture and with normal planar bone densitometry. Diagnosis of hypophosphatasia was suggested by low volumetric cortical bone mineral density and laboratory findings. DNA sequencing revealed heterozygous mutations in the exons 5, 6 and 9 of the ALPL gene, thus confirming the suspected diagnosis.

T-condylar fracture of distal humerus in young children is very rare. Pure physeal fractures of the olecranon are also rare. We report on an extremely rare case of concomitant ulecranon fracture, ipsilateral segmental humerus and intercondylar humerus fracture (type III) in a skeletally immature patient.

Hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. We present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. Clinical and imaging (radiography, CT) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...

Atypical femoral fractures are stress or insufficient fractures induced by low energy trauma or no trauma and have specific X-ray findings. Although the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research has excluded periprosthetic fractures from the definition of an atypical femoral fracture in 2013, this is still a matter of controversy because some authors report periprosthetic fractures showing...
