BACKGROUND Clinical factors that affect the likelihood of abuse in children with femur fractures have not been well elucidated. Consequently, specifying which children with femur fractures warrant an abuse evaluation is difficult. Therefore the purpose of this study is to estimate the proportion of femur fractures in young children attributable to abuse and to identify demographic, injury and p...

Introduction: Technical difficulties in managing a case of transcervical femur fracture post-polio residual paralysis patient with dysplastic femur. Case Report: We present 66 year male Post-Polio Paralysis walking Hand to knee gait who sustained Femur fracture. The faced this were narrow medullary canal, coxa valgus, greater trochanter, hypoplastic lesser Shallow acetabulum, inability compare ...

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...

OBJECTIVE Finite element analysis was used to compare preoperative and postoperative stress distribution of a bone healing model of femur fracture, to identify whether broken ends of fractured bone would break or not after fixation dislodgement one year after intramedullary nailing. Method s: Using fast, personalized imaging, bone healing models of femur fracture were constructed based on data ...

BACKGROUND A child who suffers a fracture or a soft-tissue injury at a young age faces an increased risk of subsequent injuries during childhood. This risk could be related to personal and family characteristics or to lower-than-average bone-mineral density. The purpose of this nationwide cohort study was to estimate the association between a femur shaft fracture at a young age and the subseque...

Fragility fractures, including neck of femur fractures, result from reductions in the amount, quality and architecture of bone. The aim of this study was to compare the cancellous bone structure, and static indices of bone turnover, in female patients who had sustained fragility fracture at the femoral neck, with age-matched females without fragility fracture. Bone samples were taken from the i...

Patellar fracture is a relatively uncommon fracture especially the vertical sagittal type. In cases of high energy trauma injury, it is usually associated with fracture of ipsilateral distal femur or proximal tibia. However, the combination of vertical sagittal fracture patella and ipsilateral fracture lateral condyle is very rare. This necessitates judicious diagnosis and appropriate managemen...

The emergence of a new variant of subtrochanteric stress fractures of the femur, affecting patients on oral bisphosphonate therapy, has only recently been described. This fracture is often preceded by pain and distinctive radiographic changes (lateral cortical thickening), and associated with a characteristic fracture pattern (transverse fracture line and medial cortical spike). A retrospective...

BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia of the proximal femur is a progressive, often recurrent condition of bone that can cause skeletal deformity, fractures, and pain [corrected]. Allogeneic cortical strut grafting to minimize the risk of fracture or as part of fracture treatment is a promising treatment option, but evidence is scarce on the intermediate- to long-term results of this procedure and there...

The biomechanics of hip fractures has been studied by many authors in the past; however, predictions of the fracture location and character remain difficult and speculative. The aims of the present study are threefold. First, to investigate whether proximal femur trochanteric and cervical geometrical metrics correlate with outcomes of dynamic drop tower testing carried out on human donor femurs...
