background: intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like simple falls. dynamic hip screw (dhs) is still considered the gold standard for treating intertrochanteric fractures by many. not many studies compare the dhs with proximal femoral nail (pfn), in type ii intertrochanteric ...

Foot and ankle fractures represent 12% of all pediatric fractures. Malleolar fractures are the most frequent injuries of the lower limbs. Hindfoot and midfoot fractures are rare, but inadequate treatment for these fractures may results in compartment syndrome, three-dimensional deformities, avascular necrosis and early post-traumatic arthritis, which have a significant impact on overall foot an...

Femur fractures are common in paediatric population and femoral shaft fractures have an incidense of 1.4-1.7% of all paediatric fractures. These are often seen in boys rather than girls. Most of the fractures are transverse, non-comminuted and closed [1]. The mechanism of the femoral shaft fracture for older children is associated with high-energy transmission such as traffic accidents. Combine...

Fractures are common conditions in cattle, including tibial fractures. Physeal fractures more specific and less frequently met field conditions. A calf with a Salter-Harris type I distal physeal fracture of the tibia was referred to National Veterinary School Toulouse (ENVT), France. Although use external fixators treatment is common, require different technique involving them. They were first ...
