In this thesis we evaluated two different hip arthroplasty concepts trough in vitro studies and numerical analyses. The cortical strains in the femoral neck area were increased by 10 to 15 % after insertion of a resurfacing femoral component compared to values of the intact femur, shown in an in vitro study on human cadaver femurs. There is an increased risk of femoral neck fracture after hip r...

INTRODUCTION The present study was performed to compare cemented total hip replacement (THR) with cemented bipolar prosthesis in the treatment of displaced fracture neck of femur in elderly patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 47 patients of greater than 60 years of age and having fracture of neck of femur, out of which 25 patients were managed by cemented bipolar p...

A number of reports regarding atypical fractures of the femur have raised questions concerning the possible correlation between long-term bisphosphonate treatment and the occurrence of insufficiency fractures in the proximal femur. However, clinically, it is often confused whether is it a fatigue fracture because of implant induced stress concentration or a bisphosphonate-related atypical fract...

This study is to identify the characteristics of BMD and the related clinical consequences through a nationwide, consecutive, cross-sectional study. A total of 1,281 postmenopausal women was enrolled nationwide and underwent measurement for BMD using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Following the T-spine and L-spine plane radiography, they were evaluated for vertebral fracture by a semi-quanti...

Objective To present the clinical outcome of patients with neglected femur neck fracture treated with fibular bone graft. Methods During May 2010-February 2013, 15 patients younger than 35 years of age with neglected fracture neck of femur were managed with non-vascularized fibular graft and cannulated screws. Fractures were classified according to Sandhu Classification. Hip function was asse...

Ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures occur in 2.5% to 6% of femur fractures. The injury results from high energy trauma. Victims are usually young, with multiple associated injuries. The diagnosis of the neck fracture is delayed in 19% to 31% of patients. The neck fracture line is almost vertical and nondisplaced, or minimally displaced in 26% to 59% of cases. The shaft fracture is ofte...

OBJECTIVE To identify trends related to surgical procedure for the management of neck of femur fracture to see how the choice is changing over time in relation to different age groups. METHODS The retrospective audit was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised data of all patients who presented with neck of femur fracture from 1995 to 2014. Patients with open fractur...

INTRODUCTION Femoral neck fracture on amputated limb is an uncommon lesion and challenging to manage. CASE REPORT We report a case of a displaced neck fracture of the left femur in a 57-year-old female. She underwent at the age of the three a below-knee amputation of the ipsilateral limb for post traumatic ischemia. The fracture was managed by a total hip arthroplasty (THA), as a primary proc...

Femoral shaft fractures are very common following trauma in adults and sometimes the patient may have an ipsilateral neck of femur too. Unfortunately, be missed. The challenge lies detecting properly managing fracture presence a femoral fracture. We share our experience treating 5 patients with discuss learning points regards to diagnosis treatment this condition.International Journal Human Hea...
