In the field of hip arthroplasties, the secondary fixation of the implants depends directly on the quality of the primary stability. A good acetabular fit and metaphyseal filling between the prostheses and implants improve the initial stabilization, and optimize the transmission of forces to the bone. A precise knowledge of the three-dimensional acetabular or femoral shape is essential to the s...

Simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fracture is rare injury. Cases with this type of fracture have been reported in the literature since the 1950s, following the introduction of electroconvulsive therapy which generates violent hip muscle contractions. In young patients' simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fracture results from high energy trauma (car accident or fall from height) in a normal b...

Proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is a developmental disorder of the proximal segment of the femur and of acetabulum resulting in shortening of the affected limb and impairment of the function. It is a spectrum of congenital osseous anomalies characterized by a deficiency in the structure of the proximal femur. The diagnosis is often made by radiological evaluation which includes identif...

Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a sensory mononeuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). MP has rarely been reported after a femoral intervention approach. We report a case of bilateral meralgia paresthetica following bilateral femoral cannulation. A 64-year-old male received cardiac catheterization and treatment via a bilateral femoral vein. After cardiac catheterization, the pati...

Atypical slipped capital femoral epiphyseal (SCFE) is associated with endocrine or metabolic disorders and radiation therapy. In this review, we discuss the clinical presentation for endocrinopathies, such as hyperparathyroidism, hypothyroidism, growth hormone deficiency well renal osteodystrophy, radiation-induced, valgus SCFE, pertinent case examples. Routine laboratory screening of all patie...

David Bailey, who is 14 years old, has a left transverse total forearm deficiency and bilateral longitudinal femur partial deficiencies. The latter fall into Torode and Gillespie's Group I, with marked femoral shortening. A wedge osteotomy was performed for his gross right coxa vara, which was successful, but an intractable fixed flexion deformity of the right knee led eventually to a knee disa...

Femoral neck stress fracture occured commonly in athlete and military recruit populations, some of them are bilateral. Bilateral femoral neck stress fracture that associated with other occupation is very uncommon. We report a bilateral femoral neck stress fracture case that presented with unilateral symptoms in a male shipman laborer. The patient was successfully treated conservatively. Stress ...
