Management of proximal femoral fractures using the Ilizarov principles.

چکیده
External fixation can be an exceptional relief solution in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures. We would like to share our experience using external fixation techniques with either the Ilizarov frame or Hofmann system in 23 patients with complicated fractures.

Type II Intertrochanteric Fractures: Proximal Femoral Nailing (PFN) Versus Dynamic Hip Screw(DHS)
Background: Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like simple falls. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is still considered the gold standard for treating intertrochanteric fractures by many. Not many studies compare the DHS with Proximal femoral nail (PFN), in Type II intertrochanteri...
متن کاملChallenges of Plate Fixation for Vancouver Type-C Fractures after a Well-Fixed Hip Arthroplasty Femoral Stem
The fixation of distal femoral fractures (Vancouver type-C fractures) following a well-fixed hip arthroplasty femoral stem has become a challenging issue for orthopedic surgeons due to the inter-prosthetic biomechanical effects such as negative, positive, and torsional strain. Surgeons have applied a range of constructs to overcome these difficulties. To minimize the risk of inter-prosthetic fr...
متن کاملElastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing of Femoral Shaft Fracture-Experience in 48 Children
Background: Femoral shaft fractures are an incapacitating pediatric injury accounting for 1.6% of all pediatric bonyinjuries. Management of these fractures is largely directed by age, fracture pattern, associated injuries, built of the childand socioeconomic status of the family. We retrospectively evaluated the use of elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN)in surgical management of femoral s...
متن کاملTreatment of Proximal Femoral Fractures in Children Delbet Type II by Ilizarov Technique
Hip fractures rarely occur in children but when it occurs it is potentially very serious. Fracture in children is due to high velocity trauma, for example falling from a height or a car accident. Among the high risk complications we can get avascular necrosis, premature physeal closure and coxa vara when we use screws. Between the age of 4 and 9 the ligamentous teres contributes very little to ...
متن کاملThe use of a low-profile Ilizarov external fixator in the treatment of complex fractures and non-unions of the distal femur.
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a modified (low-profile) Ilizarov fixation in the treatment of complex fractures of the distal femur such asseptic or aseptic non-unions following previous surgeries, osteoporotic fractures, and high-grade open fractures. Ten male patients with a mean age of 50 years (range, 22-72 years) were treated with a modified Ilizarov fixator. The ...
