Hybrid Anterolateral Approach for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Femoral Neck Fractures.

Injuries Associated with Femoral Shaft Fractures with Special Emphasis on Occult Injuries

  Background: Fractures of the femoral shaft are mostly the result of high-energy accidents that also cause multiple trauma injuries, in particular ipsilateral knee and hip injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of injuries associated with femoral shaft fractures and how many of them were undetected. Methods: We studied 148 patients (150 femoral shaft fractures) wi...

Closed reduction and fixation of high-energy femoral neck fractures: Still a viable surgical treatment option

Background: Femoral neck fracture causes disability if not treated properly and high-energy fractures usually have increased complication rates. Does closed reduction and internal fixation of femoral neck high energy fractures have increased complication rates? Methods: We used closed reduction and internal fixation using 3 cannulated cancellous screws. There were 67 patients (39 male, 28 femal...

Femoral Neck Fractures in the Physiologically Young

2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, WA Femoral neck fractures are associated with a high degree of morbidity in patients of any age, but urgent attention is given to fractures in the young patient due to complications such as femoral head osseous necrosis, fracture nonunion, or post traumatic hip arthritis. Anatomic open reduction with stable internal fixati...

Medial approach to treat humeral mid-shaft fractures: a retrospective study.

BACKGROUND Plate fixation is the gold standard for diaphyseal fracture management, and the anterolateral approach is widely used by reconstructive surgeons. However, the outcomes of humeral shaft fracture fixation using a medial approach are rarely reported. The aim of this study is to explore the management and outcomes of humeral mid-shaft fractures fixed through a medial incision. METHODS ...
