Intraosseous Lymphoma Presenting as a Fracture of the Femoral Neck
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intraosseous lymphomas are uncommon bone malignancy, and most of them present with bone pain. Herein, we describe a case of 64-year-old male who suffered from a painful swelling over his hip after a motor vehicle accident initially, and radiography showed femoral neck fracture. He received bipolar hemiarthroplasty; however, the pathological examination of surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. This demonstration should remind physicians about the possible occurrence of bone lymphoma in the clinical setting of traumatic fracture in the elderly patients.

متن کاملEffects 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...
متن کاملIntrapelvic Protrusion of a Broken Guide Wire Fragment during Fixation of a Femoral Neck Fracture
During fixation of a femoral neck fracture in a 23-year-old male patient with cannulated screws, a broken guide wire fragment inadvertently advanced through the hip joint and protruded into the pelvis. A second surgical approach was needed to remove the broken fragment from the pelvis. Awareness of such a potentially devastating complication will make surgeons more cautious during implementa...
متن کاملOblique capitate fracture of the wrist.
Capitate fractures, which usually occur at the head or neck, interrupt the intraosseous circulation to the proximal fragment, creating risks of fracture nonunion and avascular necrosis. Kirschner wire and screw fixation are successful in the treatment of these rare but serious injuries.

This cross-sectional study was carried out on 23 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty(THA) following unsuccessful treatment of femoral neck fracture. The goal of the present study was to determine the results of THA as a therapeutic choice for patients with failed treatment of femoral neck fracture and to compare the results of THA in two groups of treated patients with two d...
