A histomorphometric study of osteomalacia in elderly females with fracture of the proximal femur

Longer Length of Stay Increases 1-year Readmission Rate in Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery

Background: Proximal femur fractures are prevalent among the elderly and associated with substantial morbidity,mortality, and early readmission. Early readmission is gaining popularity as a measure of quality of hospital care and canlower reimbursement. A better understanding of the patient and treatment characteristics associated with readmissionmay help inform program improvement initiatives....

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...

استئومالاسی در روماتوئید آرتریت

    Background & Aims : Osteomalacia and biochemical evidence of vitamin-D deficiency may in some cases contribute to the pathogenesis of osteopenia and increase the risk of spontaneous fracture formation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).   Materials & Methods : A consecutive series of 93 patients diagnosed with RA who were admitted to the Internal Medicine Department of Ghem Medical Center in Mash...
