background:proximal femoral shaft fractures are commonly associated with marked blood loss which can lead topostoperative acute anemia and some other complications.tranexamic acid (ta) is an antifibrinolytic medication that reduces intra-and postoperative blood loss and transfusionrequirements during some elective surgeries (1-3).the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous tr...

Bilateral femoral neck fracture is not common as unilateral femoral fracture. Femoral neck fracture generally occurs by the high energized traumas. Traffic accidents and fallings are the most common reason for this fracture kind. But suddenly and minor traumatic fractures is not common. Especially, in the hormonal and pathogenic fractures is not common. In this case minor traumatic bilateral fe...

UNLABELLED Subchondral fracture of the femoral head has been reported to occur as an insufficiency fracture associated with poor bone quality or as a fatigue fracture in young military recruits. Transient osteoporosis of the hip has clinical and imaging findings that resemble those of a subchondral fracture, but it usually occurs in healthy middle-aged people not involved in sports or similar a...

Background: Respiratory problems are common after long bone fractures. The objective of the present investigation is to evaluate the effect of early fixation of femoral shaft fracture on the incidence of respiratory problems. Methods: The results of early and late stabilization of femoral shaft fractures were studied in 150 patients. The patients were divided into two groups according to the st...

during fixation of a femoral neck fracture in a 23-year-old male patient with cannulated screws, a broken guide wire fragment inadvertently advanced through the hip joint and protruded into the pelvis. a second surgical approach was needed to remove the broken fragment from the pelvis. awareness of such a potentially devastating complication will make surgeons more cautious during implementatio...

a 3-year-old wild gray wolf was referred to the department of veterinary clinical sciences of shirazuniversity with a history of car accident. the radiographic examination showed supracondylar distal femoralfracture in right leg. the wolf was pre-medicated by acepromazine followed by induction of anesthesia usinga combination of diazepam and ketamine. anesthesia was maintained by halothane. the...

conclusions the rate of mortality in the first postoperative year was high; however, functional outcomes were satisfactory. most of the patients could return to their previous activity levels. in the current study, we found no significant correlation between delay in surgery, and mortality at the first postoperative year and hhs. background femoral neck fractures (fnf) are a challenging orthope...

conclusions time plays an important role in treatment results of femoral neck fractures. to treat the fractures, closed reduction and fixation using cannulated screws may still be the best option. objectives the present study aimed to evaluate long-term results of delayed fixation of femoral neck fractures using cannulated screws. patients and methods this retrospective descriptive-analytical s...

subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (siffh) is characterized by acute onset hip pain without overt trauma. it appears as a low intensity band with bone marrow edema on t1-weighted mri. the most common course of treatment is protected weight bearing for a period of several weeks. total hip arthroplasty (tha) has been commonly used if the patient does not respond to the initial...
