Abstract Introduction: Fractures in osteoporotic bones present a surgical challenge for fixation and are often associated with significant morbidity. Case presentation: We case of failed internal fracture femoral shaft 74-year-old patient osteoporosis. Fracture was undertaken using an extra medullary locking plate intramedullary cortical strut graft, hybrid technique, Locking Plate Allograft Co...

OBJECTIVE To compare the fixation stability in the femoral head with sliding hip screw versus helical blade designs for unstable, intertrochanteric hip fractures. METHODS A simulated, unstable intertrochanteric hip fracture was created in six pairs of cadaveric femurs. One of each pair was treated using an intramedullary nail with a sliding hip screw (ITST) for femoral head fixation and the o...

BACKGROUND We evaluated the results of patients with traumatic femur diaphyseal fracture who had undergone biologic fixation with unreamed intramedullary nailing. METHODS Twenty-five adults with 29 traumatic femur diaphyseal fractures who had undergone unreamed intramedullary nailing at Uludag University School of Medicine, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology were included in the study...

A secondary high-velocity trauma to a previously stabilized femoral fracture with intramedullary nailing is rare. In this paper, we present the management of a 40-year-old man presented with a bent intramedullary nail due to secondary trauma. A lateral longitudinal femoral osteotomy was used for the resection of the distorted nail. The femur was reconstructed with a new nail, and the fixation o...

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a common injury suffered by adolescents worldwide. Treatment of most slips can be accomplished by percutaneous screw fixation, as this is an accepted and proven method associated with minimal morbidity. Complications, although limited, can be problematic for both the patient and treating physician. These include avascular necrosis, chondrolysis, infection, a...

BACKGROUND Cephalocondylic intramedullary nails, which are inserted proximally to distally (cephalocondylic), have been used for the surgical treatment of extracapsular hip fractures. OBJECTIVES To compare all cephalocondylic intramedullary nails with extramedullary implants for the surgical treatment of extracapsular hip fractures in adults. This is the fourth substantive update of our origi...

Distal femoral fractures (DFFs) are challenging injuries. For a long time they were considered difficult to manage and often led degree of disability. Until the early 1960s, most these treated conservatively, with poor functional outcomes. With development new materials surgical techniques, fixation has gradually become standard care for DFFs demonstrated better outcomes than non-surgical treat...

Aim. In these case series which are about type 3 open tibial fractures formed with three different high energy trauma etiologies in different parts of tibia. We aimed to assess our three-stage treatment approach and discuss final results of our elective surgery management with three different fixation methods. Patients and Methods. We assessed 19 patients with type 3 open tibial fractures betwe...
