Introduction Traumatic dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral fracture neck femur is a rare injury because of the different mechanism of both these injuries. The management of such injuries is a challenge as the chances of nonunion and avascular necrosis of femoral head are very high with fixation methods. We report a case of obturator dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral fracture neck of t...

Objective: In order to avoid the adverse consequences which cause by anthropogenic factor in the femoral neck fracture surgery and meet the requirements of selecting the most reasonable internal fixation way, from the viewpoint of biomechanics, an optimal selection system of internal fixation methods for femoral neck facture are established which integrates preprocessing, solving and post-proce...

BACKGROUND The relationship between osteoarthritis (OA) and osteoporosis (OP) is complicated and it may differ according to the site or stage of disease. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to examine the relationship between the severity of radiological knee OA and the degree of OP in the ipsilateral proximal femur as denoted by bone mineral density (BMD) in a Korean population, espec...

The Birmingham mid head resection (BMHR) arthroplasty can be used as an alternative to conventional stemmed total hip arthroplasty in young patients unsuitable for hip resurfacing. This study investigated the effect of stem size on femoral neck fracture in the BMHR. Sawbones composite femurs were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: (1) unprepared femur with no prosthesis, (2) fem...

BACKGROUND Hip endoscopy facilitates the treatment of extra-articular disorders of the proximal femur. Unfortunately, current knowledge of proximal femur anatomy is limited to qualitative descriptions and lacks surgically relevant landmarks. PURPOSE To provide a quantitative and qualitative analysis of proximal femur anatomy in reference to surgically relevant bony landmarks. STUDY DESIGN D...

Worldwide, 30% – 40% of women and 13% of men suffer from osteoporotic fractures of the bone, particularly the older people. Doctors in the hospitals need to manually inspect a large number of x-ray images to identify the fracture cases. Automated detection of fractures in x-ray images can help to lower the workload of doctors by screening out the easy cases, leaving a small number of difficult ...

This article describes the rate of falls and adverse outcomes following falls, such as fracture, hospitalisation and death, among residents of 88 aged-care facilities in the Lower Hunter region of NSW from July to December 2005. A high rate of falls was observed with a crude incidence of 171 falls per 1000 beds per month. Around 40% of the falls resulting in hospitalisation were for fractured n...

INTRODUCTION More than two years delay in the union of fracture neck of femur is a very rare entity.The treatment of an established non union depends on numerous factors including age of the patient, vascularity of the femoral head and other factors. It is timing of intervention that is not clearly defined in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION We report 2 cases where fracture neck of femur in ...

Total hip replacement (THR) is a common procedure to treat patients with a fractured neck of femur. Ipsilateral major vessel injury with acute lower limb ischaemia is a rare but potentially devastating complication. Contralateral acute limb ischaemia is unreported. We present the case of a contralateral, acute lower limb ischaemia following THR for a fractured neck of femur in the presence of a...

We report a case involving a 64 year old lady with bilateral pathological fractures of the neck of the femur secondary to Low Grade Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma, a pathology that has not previously been described in clinical literature. This particular case also highlights the value of the diagnosis and management of patients presenting with subtle and unusual symptoms, and supports the curre...
