We describe a case of delayed cyst formation that presented as intermittent knee locking after complicated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a Bio-TransFix implant in a 21-year-old male patient. During femoral fixation, we could not pull out the guide wire that was temporarily used for the femoral fixation. However, stability was good, and the guide wire was not removed. Thi...

Femoral neck fractures are common among elderly people. These fractures can cause significant changes in people’s life and many patients never return to the same activity level. For the displaced femoral neck fracture in the elderly the standard surgical procedure has been hemiarthroplasty. It has been debated for years which method of fixation is the best, cementing the prosthesis or press-fit...

BACKGROUND Corrective osteotomy and intramedullary rodding are widely used in children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), but revision rodding is often required. This study aims to investigate the effect of purchasing distal femoral epiphysis on the longevity of fixation using non-elongating rod. METHODS We investigated children with Sillence type III or IV OI who received antegrade femoral R...

Introduction Considering all femoral bone injuries, femoral neck fractures cause the largest number of surgical, medical and economic problems. The research aimed to determine, within the tested sample, the benefits of the Canadian Open Orthopaedics and Traumatology Journal Vol. 2, No. 1, January 2015, pp. 1 7 Available online at http://crpub.com/Journals.php Open Access Copyright © crpub.com, ...

BACKGROUND Fractures of the femoral shaft are mostly the result of high-energy accidents that also cause multiple trauma injuries, in particular ipsilateral knee and hip injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of injuries associated with femoral shaft fractures and how many of them were undetected. METHODS We studied 148 patients (150 femoral shaft fractures) with...

Peri-implant fractures distal to an antegrade femoral nail are uncommon injuries, with no current consensus on the best treatment modality. We are presenting three cases of periimplant fractures distal to an antegrade femoral nail. All patients sustained an initial traumatic injury, which was managed with an antegrade femoral nail fixation. They subsequently suffer a second injury which causes ...

Distal femoral varus osteotomy is a well-established procedure for the treatment of lateral compartment cartilage lesions and degenerative disease, correcting limb alignment and decreasing the progression of the pathology. Surgical techniques can be performed with a lateral opening-wedge or medial closing-wedge correction of the deformity. Fixation methods for lateral opening-wedge osteotomies ...

We report the case of an 80-year-old woman who developed an arteriovenous fistula of the deep femoral arteries during proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) fixation for an intertrochanteric femoral fracture. Six days after PFNA fixation, color Doppler ultrasonography and digital subtraction angiography revealed an arteriovenous fistula. The cause of vascular injury was believed to be misali...
