Early prediction of femoral head avascular necrosis following neck fracture.
Femoral neck fracture puts at risk functional prognosis in young patients and can be life-threatening in the elderly. The present study reviews methods of femoral head vascularity assessment following neck fracture, to address the following issues: what is the risk of osteonecrosis? And what, in the light of this risk, is the best-adapted treatment to avoid iterative surgery? Femoral head vascu...
متن کاملSubcapital femoral neck fracture following successful trochanteric fracture treatment with a dynamic hip screw: a report of five cases.
A subcapital femoral neck fracture complicating a healed trochanteric fracture is rare. Such cases are managed in a rather heterogeneous manner, i.e. there exists a mixture of cases treated by either fixed angle devices or dynamic compression screws. We describe 5 patients who developed subcapital femoral neck fractures after healed trochanteric fractures treated with dynamic compression screws...
متن کاملA Case of Bilateral Aseptic Necrosis of the Femoral Head.
Aseptic necrosis of the femoral head is a disease whose etiology is not completely elucidated and generally affects young adults aged between 30 and 50 years. In a significant number of patients bilateral disease occurs, which makes detection in its early stages constitute an important objective. We present the case of a male patient, aged 23 years, with the following risk factors: smoking and ...
متن کاملSpontaneous resolution of avascular necrosis of femoral heads following cure of Cushing’s syndrome
UNLABELLED Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a rare presenting feature of endogenous hypercortisolism. If left untreated, complete collapse of the femoral head may ensue, necessitating hip replacement in up to 70% of patients. The majority of the described patients with AVN due to endogenous hypercortisolaemia required surgical intervention. A 36-year-old female, investigated for right leg pain, repo...
متن کاملFemoral neck fracture following hip resurfacing: the effect of alignment of the femoral component.
A total of 20 pairs of fresh-frozen cadaver femurs were assigned to four alignment groups consisting of relative varus (10 degrees and 20 degrees) and relative valgus (10 degrees and 20 degrees), 75 composite femurs of two neck geometries were also used. In both the cadaver and the composite femurs, placing the component in 20 degrees of valgus resulted in a significant increase in load to fail...
