چکیده

Two patients are described, each with a fracture-dislocation of the hip combined with a fracture of the neck of the same femur. Open reduction combined with internal fixation was performed in both cases. Eight years later one patient had developed avascular necrosis of the femoral head; no signs of avascular necrosis or associated arthritis have appeared in the other patient after four years. A plea is made for considering this more conservative type of operation for these serious injuries before resorting to total hip replacement.

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...
