چکیده
Even if the intertrochanteric fracture under an arthrodesis hip is rare and the optimal surgical treatment is controversial, we consider that treating this kind of fracture with a locked plate was a success.

Unusual Presentation of Pseudoaneurysm with Trochanteric Fracture Femur with Associated Long-Term Antiepileptic Therapy
Arterial injury following impalement due to a trochanteric hip fracture-fragment per se has been documented rarely. We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of profunda femoris artery at the first perforator branch in a 48-year-old male, with trochanteric hip fracture following a fall during an epileptic episode. Persistent recalcitrant pain, globular swelling in the groin, unexplained drop in the ha...

متن کاملCombined bilateral femoral head necrosis and pertrochanteric fracture: a case report
INTRODUCTION Modular femoral implants have become a regular feature of revision hip surgery. However, for a primary hip arthroplasty, such as a femoral neck fracture case, the implant of choice is a standard femoral component, while compelling literature evidence have made osteosynthesis the standard procedure for the vast majority of trochanteric fractures. CASE PRESENTATION We present the c...
متن کاملCutout of proximal femoral nail antirotation resulting from blocking of the gliding mechanism during fracture collapse.
The proximal femoral nail antirotation had been successful in treating unstable trochanteric fractures. Previous studies have shown technical problems such as unsatisfactory fracture reduction, poor insertion technique, and poor blade position leading to complications such as cutout. We present a case of proximal femoral nail antirotation cutout resulting from the blocking of the gliding mechan...
متن کاملTrochanteric Fracture of a Congenital/Developmental Dislocation of the Hip in an Elderly Woman: A Case Report
An 87-year-old woman with a residual dislocated hip suffered a trochanteric fracture on the ipsilateral side. The fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation surgery with good results. To treat a proximal femoral fracture of the residual dislocated hip in an elderly patient, the patient’s overall status, pre-fracture ability, hip joint configuration, and fracture pattern should...
