Simultaneous post-traumatic ipsilateral fracture of femur head and subcapital femur neck without hip dislocation is a rare presentation and easily missed on X-ray imaging. A 48 years old male, with a history of high-energy road traffic accident, presented to us with severe pain in the left hip region and inability to ambulate. Preliminary X-ray showed impacted subcapital fracture with varus ang...

neglected, untreated and delayed femur neck fractures are commonly encountered and the treatment dilemma arises especially when the patient is physiologically young and osteosynthesis is the preferred option. controversy exists in the current literature as the various head salvage surgeries like valgus subtrochanteric osteotomy, non-vascularized fibular bone grafting, muscle pedicle bone grafti...

OBJECTIVE This report presents bone measurement data from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans of the lumbar spine and proximal femur for persons aged 8 years and over from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2008. METHODS Means, standard deviations, and selected percentiles were calculated for the proximal femur and lumbar spine (total and subregions) by sex,...

Background: Intracapsular fractures of neck femur have always presented a great challenge to orthopaedics surgeons and remain in many ways the unsolved fracture as far as treatment and results are concerned. Methods: Cases included in this study are transcervical and subcapital fracture neck femur in patients less than 60 yrs of age managed in Sir JJ Hospital, Mumbai -08. Results: Fracture type...

Surgical management of fracture Neck of Femur is dictated by physiological age of the patient. An Intracapsular fracture of neck of Femur in adults is relatively uncommon and is difficult to manage. The study intends to analyze the functional outcome of Femoral neck fracture in adults below 60yrs of age treated surgically by internal fixation following delayed presentation more than 48

background: some studies have previously shown that geometry of proximal femur can affect the probability of fracture and type of fracture. it happens since the geometry of the proximal femur determines how a force is applied to its different parts. in this study, we have compared proximal femur’s geometric characteristics in femoral neck (fnf), intertrochanteric (itf) and subtrochanteric (stf)...

BACKGROUND An association between sleep duration and a wide spectrum of diseases has been reported, but little is known about its relationship with bone mineral density (BMD). Previously conducted studies in Korea and abroad have reported results that are controversial. The present study sought to assess whether sleep duration can be considered an independent risk factor of osteoporosis. METH...

Risk factors for fracture of the neck of the femur are relatively well established, but those for fracture at other sites are little studied. In this large population study we explore the role of age, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity on the risk of fracture at seven sites in postmenopausal women. As part of the Million Women Study, 1,154,821 postmenopausal UK women with a mean age o...
