Objective: To evaluate the importance of tip apex distance in implant failure intertrochanteric fracture femur treated with Dynamic hip screw, so that optimum should maintain to decrease DHS. Study Design: It was a descriptive cross sectional study. Setting and Duration: Patients were selected from orthopedic unit Nishtar Hospital, Multan, July 2020 June 2021. Methodology: All patients meeting ...

The cause of postoperative failure after the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) was analyzed, and the reoperative methods were examined. Nine failures of 308 femoral intertrochanteric fracture patients with PFNA were treated with femoral prosthesis total hip replacement (THR) and reoperative internal fixation. All nine patients were an...

This study examined the effect of weather and seasonality on hipfracture incidence in older adults residing in New York City. A total off 66,346 patients aged > or = 65 years who sustained a fracture of the femoralneck or intertrochanteric region from 1985 to 1996 comprised the study population. Hip fractures were more likely to occur in the winter than in any of the other seasons (P<.001). Fac...

Salvage of a failed valgus osteotomy for nonunion of an unstable pertrochanteric fracture is reported. A valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy is performed for a failed sliding hip screw fixation of an unstable pertrochanteric fracture at another institution. Four months following osteotomy, the fracture was still un-united with two distal screws of the hip plate broken and a coxa vara deformity. ...

Dynamic hip screw has long been a standard implant for intertrochanteric hip fractures. The inception of intramedullary nails has further revolutionized their management. With a constant evolution in the designs of both these implants, there has always been a conflict concerning the superiority of one over the other. In this randomized prospective cohort study, 80 patients with intertrochanteri...

PURPOSE We aimed to quantify proximal femoral shortening after operation with compression hip screws for intertrochanteric fracture in patients under the age of 60 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS We followed 37 consecutive patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with compression hip screws from March 2005 to February 2014. We designated the aspect of the fracture, a defect of the poste...

PURPOSE This study was aimed to explore and report the short term results of primary cementless hip arthroplasty in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric femur fracture in elderlys. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2009 and Feburary 2012, 35 arthroplasty cases performed by single surgeon and followed up for more than one year were evaluated. They were 21 females and 14 males with mean ag...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical and functional outcomes of dynamic hip screw (DHS) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) treatment of AO type 1 intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 194 consecutive patients with type A1 intertrochanteric femoral fractures who were treated with DHS (n=113) or PFNA (n=81)...
