Background In total hip arthroplasty the surgeon aims to restore biomechanics of joint. Femoral height has greatest influence on restoring limb length and contributes equally restoration femoral head centre. On X-ray, level neck resection is most often referenced off upper border lesser trochanter. Less frequently, centre from tip greater The error in measurement resulting unknown rotation cruc...

We report a case of a 53 year old female who presented with a painless mass over her left greater trochanter. Evaluation with MRI and ultimately biopsy led to a diagnosis of fat necrosis. If this diagnosis had been considered with greater confidence, a conservative approach could have been taken and biopsy avoided. In patients with lesions demonstrating classic locations and imaging features of...

A 40-year-old patient was hospitalized for inflammatory pain in the superior-external surface of the right thigh evolving since 8 months, with no change in the general condition or fever. The pressure towards the right large trochanter was painful without local inflammatory signs. Biology did not show any inflammatory syndrome. The X-ray of the pelvis revealed an osteolytic lesion of the right ...

We reviewed retrospectively 373 total hip replacements operated on using a lateral approach with the patient in a supine position. We found 21 iatrogenic fractures of the greater trochanter, all in women. 15 cases were diagnosed during the operation and were treated with wire fixation. 6 fractures were diagnosed on radiographs during the first 3 months following the operation. 2 of these 6 case...

BACKGROUND There are no controlled studies testing the efficacy of various nonoperative strategies for treatment of greater trochanter pain syndrome. Hypothesis The null hypothesis was that local corticosteroid injection, home training, and repetitive low-energy shock wave therapy produce equivalent outcomes 4 months from baseline. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled clinical trial; Level of e...

Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to identify focal bone marrow edema or a focal periphyseal edema (FOPE) zone, in the closing growth plates of adolescent knees. Case Report In the current case, an 11-year-old boy reported pain in his left hip. He had been participating in gymnastic classes at school, but otherwise, he was not an active athlete. Based on MRI findings...

Abstract Background In our institute, all elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fracture were treated cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) using the modified Dall approach. To knowledge, there are no reports on knot position of greater trochanter reattachment. The aim this study was to determine influence two positions (anterior or posterior) complications trochanter. Methods This is ...
