Displaced intracapsular neck of femur fractures: dislocation rate after total hip arthroplasty
… increases up to 22% for THA done for neck of femur fractures. Larger femoral head sizes increase the head-neck ratio and range of motion before impingement, therefore reducing the dislocation rate. Due to the reported increase in dislocation for trauma, some surgeons prefer to do a …

Locking plates for distal femur fractures does an increased working length improve healing?
Distal femur locking plates have become a very popular means of internal fixation because of their ability to provide stable distal periarticular fixation. In spite of this enthusiasm however several studies have reported significant problems with healing. In the distal femur it is recognized that …

Intramedullary nailing of open tibia and femur fractures through the supra & infrapatellar approach. Is septic arthritis a real concern?
… risk increases notably in cases involving open fractures, as all associated wounds are deemed contaminated. Consequently, the potential introduction of infection into the knee joint consistently remains a concern for the surgeon performing these procedures. Methods: All instances of open …

“Removing the nail from the coffin'' outcomes of intramedullary nailing of femur fractures: a comparison of anterograde- and retrograde nails
Intramedullary (IM) nailing for femoral shaft fractures is the current most effective, gold-standard treatment modality for femoral shaft fractures in the adult population. In the past, intramedullary femur nails were primarily performed utilising the anterograde approach (AFN). Recently, the …

Radiographic Union Score for Tibia (RUST) scoring system in adult diaphyseal femoral fractures treated with intramedullary nailing: an assessment of interobserver and intraobserver reliability
… multiple studies assessing the healing of tibial fractures. Our objective was to assess the inter and intraobserver reliability for the RUST in diaphyseal femoral fractures treated with intramedullary (IM) nailing. Patients and Methods A total of 60 sets of anteroposterior (AP) and lateral …

Hand-assisted laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy in the mare
… surgery, 1 mare was euthanized due to bilateral femur fractures sustained during anesthetic recovery and another developed severe pleuropneumonia. At necropsy all but one abdominal incision was healing routinely. One mare had abscessed along the laparotomy incision and developed visceral …

Lateral and Posterior Dynamic Bending of the Mid-Shaft Femur: Fracture Risk Curves for the Adult Population
… risk functions for dynamic bending of the human femur in the lateral-to-medial and posterior-to-anterior loading directions. A total of 45 experiments were performed on human cadaver femurs using a dynamic three-point drop test setup. All 45 tests resulted in mid-shaft femur fractures with …

An investigation into the intramedullary pressure rise during femoral nailing: does the level and type of fracture determine peak pressures during the procedure?
… has become the 'Gold Standard' of treatment for femur fractures. The efficacy and benefit of early osteosynthesis by this technique is well established. Some of the acute complications of intramedullary manipulation and nailing are fat embolism syndrome, pulmonary dysfunction and Adult …

Restoration of Bone Material and Microstructural Properties after Long-Term Remodeling Suppression
… consequence to patients, while rare, is Atypical Femur Fractures (i.e., complete fatigue fractures of the femoral shaft). To counteract the effects of long-term remodeling suppression, a temporary break in BP treatment (a "drug holiday) has been widely discussed in the clinical literature to allow …

An investigation of the attitude of orthopaedic patients with fractured femur towards rehabilitation in hospital after injury
… attitude of orthopaedic patients with fractured femur towards rehabilitation in hospital after injury. A descriptive survey was undertaken. One set of questionnaire was designed for patients with fractured femur who were admitted to hospital after injury. It consisted of both structured and …
