INTRODUCTION: Hip fracture is the most serious complication of osteoporosis. In order to develop and target prevention strategies, it is essential to find those at increased risk of hip fracture. Decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in the proximal femur is associated with hip fracture risk, but majority of the fractures occur in patients without osteoporosis . Fracture risk is also affected by...

To explore potential etiologic differences in the two major types of hip fracture, the authors computed the incidence rates of fractures of the femoral neck and trochanteric region of the proximal femur using a 5% sample of the US Medicare population aged 65-99 years. For the period they examined, July 1,1986, through June 30, 1990, the rates of both hip fracture types increased with age in all...

Sub-trochanteric fractures of the femur are not commonly encountered as compared to trochanteric or neck of femur fractures. Relatively younger persons are injured more and a considerable violence is required for this fracture to occur. These fractures, treated conservatively by methods like traction, splints or casts, are often associated with complications like non-union, mal-union, shortenin...

Background:  Hip fracture Management in supine position on a fracture table with biplane fluoroscopic views has some difficulties which leads to prolongation of surgery and increasing x- rays’ dosage. The purpose of this study was to report the results and complications of hip fracture management in lateral position on a conventional operating table with just anteroposterior fluoroscopic view. ...

Introduction: The surgical stabilisation of elderly proximal femur fractures has improved thanks to recent developments. In many circumstances, the internal fixation fails. Inadequate fixing fracture, fracture pattern, and poor quality bone are all contributing causes failures. Elderly patients who have Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty (BHA) for unstable inter trochanteric compared those undergo Dynami...
