Abstract:

AbstractWe report our surgical method used to treat type C distal femur fractures accompanied by patella fractures whereby we approach the articular surface of the femur through the already-fractured patella. We treated 10 patients with type C3 distal femur and patella fractures between May 2013 and April 2015. Because the patella was fractured in all cases, we could approach the articular surface of the distal femur through the transverse gap between the retracted patellar fracture fragments, “transpatellar approach.” Any surgical complications were recorded. Knee function was evaluated using

<strong>Introduction: </strong>The femur is essential for the lower extremities to support weight. 10 to 37 femur shaft fractures occur for every 100,000 patients. Femur shaft fractures frequently result from car accidents and falls from heights. The most common option for treating a femur shaft fracture is intramedullary nailing (IMN). <strong>Aim of Study: </strong>This study aim to analyse the fracture non-union in intramedullary interlocking nailing for fracture shaft of femur. <strong>Material and Methods: </strong>Prospective clinical studies were carried out in

Abstract:

Osteoporotic fractures of the femur are associated with poor healing, disability, reduced quality of life, and high mortality rates within 1 year. Moreover, osteoporotic fractures of the femur are still considered to be an unsolved problem in orthopedic surgery. In order to more effectively identify osteoporosis-related fracture risk and develop advanced treatment approaches for femur fractures, it is necessary to acquire a greater understanding of how osteoporosis alters the diaphyseal structure and biomechanical characteristics.

To facilitate the creation, modification, and optimization of patient-specific plates for distal femur fractures, a novel approach was proposed for the rapid and convenient design of patient-specific plates for patients’ fractured femurs using feature parameterization. First, several femur parameter values were obtained for a specific patient and used to construct a restored surface model of the fractured femur. Next, combined with the particular femur anatomy and the fracture, a parameterized plate with a suitable shape was created automatically based on the parameter maps between the femur a

Background: Fracture is a discontinuity of bone which is often followed by damage to the surrounding soft tissue, such as blood vessels, muscles, and nerves. World health organization (WHO) stated that there are 5.6 million people died due to fractures and 1.3 million people suffering fractures due to traffic accidents in 2011-2012. One of the most common fractures on lower extremities due to severe trauma is femur fracture. Femur fracture is usually caused by trauma due to pressure that exceeds the capacity of the femur. Femur fracture today is still common and remains one of the major challe

Femur shaft fractures are common fractures that orthopaedic surgeons come across. Such fractures frequently associate with high energy trauma (ex: Motor vehicle accident, fall from height) in young patients or a trivial fall in elderly patients. IMIL nailing is the most frequently used modality of management for shaft of femur fractures. Early definitive treatment within 24-48 hours in stable patients reduces the risk of mortality and morbidity. Fracture of femoral neck is an unusual complication while performing IMIL shaft fracture.

Femoral nails are used to provide fixation for fractured long bones. These constructs simultaneously provide stability and union in nearly 10% of cases of premature failure. The goal of this investigation was to develop and test different models of the femur using cephalomedullary nail fixation. These models represent three different types of hip fractures (intracapsular, intertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures). By testing the different fracture types, one can determine the fracture tolerance of the constructs from the resulting forces that occur due to the activities of daily living

Abstract:

Femoral shaft fractures are very common following trauma in adults and sometimes the patient may have an ipsilateral neck of femur fractures too. Unfortunately, the neck of femur fractures may be missed. The challenge lies in detecting and properly managing the neck of femur fracture in the presence of a femoral shaft fracture. We share our experience in treating 5 patients with ipsilateral neck and shaft of femur fractures and discuss the learning points in regards to diagnosis and treatment of this condition.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 07 No. 02 April’23 Page: 188

Abstract:

Introduction: Treatment of supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of the distal femur has historically been difficult. These fractures are often unstable and comminuted and tend to occur in the elderly or in patients with multiple injuries. Objective: The purpose of the study is to assess the functional and radiological outcome of locking plate fixation in AO type 33C distal femur fractures. Materials and Methods: A total of 49 patients with distal femoral fractures were operated by open reduction with internal fixation with a distal femur-locking compression plate (LCP) through the standar

Abstract:

Summary: The stability of intertrochanteric fractures depends upon multiple factors including the fracture displacement, location and pattern, the type of fixation used for stabilization, and the loading that the fracture undergoes postfixation. Traditional classification systems are of limited utility because they typically stratify intertrochanteric fractures as stable or unstable based purely on the fracture pattern without consideration of the stability after fixation. Biomechanical studies evaluating the stability of various fixation constructs should include physiologic loading, includin

Distal femur fractures are about 7 % of all femur fractures.1 Being complex in nature management of these fractures is difficult; management is still a challenge in this technically advanced era. Fibular strut graft is one of the useful and simple options to manage defects in distal femur fractures. High velocity injuries causing open fractures may lead to infection and non-union of fracture if proper debridement and antibiotics are not used as per established protocol. Antibiotics can be given mixed with polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) cement formed in beads at the open fracture site or coated

Consequently, we now introduce a pioneering fixation method in our report, aiming to offer a holistic solution to the intricate challenges associated with this scenario.

Bisphosphonate (BP) therapy for moderate to severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) has become a mainstay of treatment in the last three decades. Given the significant improvements in bone mineral density and theoretical reductions in fracture risk, many patients are treated with bisphosphonates for prolonged periods of time. There currently lacks consensus in the optimal duration of BP therapy for patients with OI, and patients are often treated on a case-by-case basis. Long-term BP therapy has been associated with atypical femur fractures in adult patients treated for osteoporosis. The American
