Background: Trochanteric bursitis is an inflammation of the greater trochanteric bursa which a recurrent source lateral hip pain.
 Objective: To assess diagnostic value 6 clinical tests that can be used to diagnose and utilize ultrasound as imaging modality confirm diagnosis.
 Patients Methods: This Cross-sectional study included 85 consecutive patients who had been experienced pain i...

BACKGROUND Isolated fractures of the greater trochanter (GT) of the femur are uncommon and few studies have assessed the diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic schedule for these fractures. The current data regarding assessment of isolated fractures of the GT are limited to a few reviews based on the experience of a single institution. Therefore, we asked the following questions: (1) what propor...

The optimum location and diameter, of an entry hole for an intramedullary nail, in the upper proximal femur, is investigated in this article. A comparative study for five different entry hole positions and seven different hole diameters at each position, has been pursued. The entry holes were located at the tip of the trochanter, at the superior, anterior and posterior parts of the lateral neck...

Background: Intertrochanteric fractures account for significant percentage of health care costs and result in high rates morbidity mortality. Since higher rate mortality complications most can be successfully treated with trochanteric stabilizing plates. This study was conducted to assess functional outcome intertrochanteric fracture femur plates define ideal mode fixation such fractures. Troch...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In recent years, intramedullary nails (INs) for the treatment of pertrochanteric hip fractures have gained prominence relative to conventional, sliding hip screws (SHSs). There is little empirical background for this development, however. A previous series of ours suggested that the use of SHS was not adequate in situations with fragile or fractured lateral femoral walls,...

BACKGROUND Closed femoral nailing is universally accepted as the treatment of choice in almost all diaphyseal femoral fractures in adults. Numerous authors reported favorable results applying the same surgical technique in the adolescent patient group. Nevertheless, reports of complications such as avascular necrosis and alteration of the proximal femoral anatomy have dampened the initial enthu...

PURPOSE We conducted a study on patients who underwent hip joint arthroplasty because of unstable femur intertrochanteric fractures with greater trochanter bony fragments. After dividing patients into three groups depending on their fracture patterns, we evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of different operation methods applied to each of these groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using...

A muscle, 7.5 c.m. long and 1.4 c.m. wide at its thickest part lay just inferior to the piriformis muscle on both sides of the lower limb. It was not part of the piriformis muscle as it originated from the lower margin of the greater sciatic notch and inserted into the greater trochanter of femur just posterior to the piriformis. (Piriformis muscle originated from the pelvis surface of the 2nd,...

Abstract Aim Fragility hip fracture is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Bone biomechanics are central to orthopaedic surgery as it vital optimise patient outcomes. This review aims provide the relevant of for clinicians. Method The following terms were used in Embase Medline: biomechanics, fracture, proximal femoral fragility fracture. Bibliographies articles scrutinised ide...
