simultaneous fractures of the femoral neck and shaft are not common injuries, though they cannot be considered rare. herein, we report our experience with a patient with bilateral occurance of this injury. up to the best of our knowkedge this is the first case reported in literature in which correct diagnosis was made initially. both femurs were fixed using broad 4.5 mm dynamic compression plat...

we present a case report of acute spontaneous knee hemarthosis due to erosion of the nail through the knee joint capsule in a boy, seven months following retrograde flexible nailing for fractured femur. careful positioning of the location of the insertion site of flexible nails and proper nail tip management are important to avoid this rare late complication.

Hip and neck femur fracture surgery was associated with high post-operative mortality and poor functional results. The decision-making process with regards to the elderly with hip or neck femur fractures was of great importance, requiring consideration of ethical, medico legal and economic factors in addition to the purely medical ones. An important component in the decision-making process was ...

background: the principal aim of this study was therefore to investigate association between family history of osteo porotic hip fracture, bmd and femur geometry in bushehr city in south of iran. methods: in this cross-sectional study, data were obtained from iranian multi-center osteoporosis study (imos) in bushehr. healthy men and women aged 50 to 75 years were selected based on randomized cl...

Simultaneous post-traumatic ipsilateral fracture of femur head and subcapital femur neck without hip dislocation is a rare presentation and easily missed on X-ray imaging. A 48 years old male, with a history of high-energy road traffic accident, presented to us with severe pain in the left hip region and inability to ambulate. Preliminary X-ray showed impacted subcapital fracture with varus ang...

Surgical management of fracture Neck of Femur is dictated by physiological age of the patient. An Intracapsular fracture of neck of Femur in adults is relatively uncommon and is difficult to manage. The study intends to analyze the functional outcome of Femoral neck fracture in adults below 60yrs of age treated surgically by internal fixation following delayed presentation more than 48

background: some studies have previously shown that geometry of proximal femur can affect the probability of fracture and type of fracture. it happens since the geometry of the proximal femur determines how a force is applied to its different parts. in this study, we have compared proximal femur’s geometric characteristics in femoral neck (fnf), intertrochanteric (itf) and subtrochanteric (stf)...

Background: Intracapsular fractures of neck femur have always presented a great challenge to orthopaedics surgeons and remain in many ways the unsolved fracture as far as treatment and results are concerned. Methods: Cases included in this study are transcervical and subcapital fracture neck femur in patients less than 60 yrs of age managed in Sir JJ Hospital, Mumbai -08. Results: Fracture type...

Risk factors for fracture of the neck of the femur are relatively well established, but those for fracture at other sites are little studied. In this large population study we explore the role of age, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity on the risk of fracture at seven sites in postmenopausal women. As part of the Million Women Study, 1,154,821 postmenopausal UK women with a mean age o...

neglected, untreated and delayed femur neck fractures are commonly encountered and the treatment dilemma arises especially when the patient is physiologically young and osteosynthesis is the preferred option. controversy exists in the current literature as the various head salvage surgeries like valgus subtrochanteric osteotomy, non-vascularized fibular bone grafting, muscle pedicle bone grafti...
