Plain radiographs show only two dimensions of a three-dimensional object. On anteroposterior and lateral radiographs an implant may appear to be safely within the head of the femur although surface penetration has occurred. We have attempted to identify this complication in the treatment of fractures of the femoral neck and have analysed the position of a screw or pin in the femoral head and ne...

conclusions we advocate that unream nailing in traumatic femoral shaft fractures is a simple, safe and effective procedure with significant advantages, especially in multitrauma patients. patients and methods between january 2008 and august 2009, 50 patients with femoral shaft fractures were treated with unreamed or reamed femoral nails in our clinic. from this prospective single centre study, ...

background femur fracture is one of the most common fractures in children. certain parameters such as the patient’s age, the exact location of fracture, type of fracture, the mechanism of fracture, and the accompanying injuries determine which one of the many treatment techniques be used in each case. objectives we aimed to compare the results of close and open techniques in pediatric femoral s...

BACKGROUND Most of healed lower femoral fractures resulted in various degree of loss of the knee motion. Flexion deficit is a serious problem for the Eastern persons that are where squatting and sitting on the ground are necessary for daily activities. The aims of this study were to compare outcomes of using condylar buttress plate and dynamic condylar screw (DCS) in treatment of distal femoral...

t-condylar fracture of distal humerus in young children is very rare. pure physeal fractures of the olecranon are also rare. we report on an extremely rare case of concomitant ulecranon fracture, ipsilateral segmental humerus and intercondylar humerus fracture (type iii) in a skeletally immature patient.

Femoral head fracture is a relatively rare injury which often associates with a poor functional outcome. The surgical approaches for femoral head fracture are a controversial subject in many study reports. Patients and Methods Nineteen patients suffering from femoral head fracture-dislocation of the hip were admitted to Zagazig university hospital. The fractures were classified according to the...
