However, it remains unclear which device achieves better clinical and radiographic outcomes when treating intertrochanteric fractures.

We evaluated the effects of an injectable complex of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules, hyaluronate, and recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) on repair of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. Twenty-five patients (range, 76-91 years) having 31.A2 fractures (AO classification) were treated with injection of the complex followed by intramedullary nails...

INTRODUCTION The best treatment for intertrochanteric fractures remains controversial. Many methods have been recommended. AIM We aimed to assess the results of osteosynthesis using the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) system. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 113 consecutive patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with PFNA. Fractures were classified in ac...

conclusions a lumbar hernia may, on rare occasions, become incarcerated or strangulated, with the consequent complication of mechanical bowel obstruction. we suggest that a patient with a flank mass should always raise suspicions of a lumbar hernia. case presentation a 76-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with a femoral intertrochanteric fracture was sent to our department. physical examina...

Ten cases of fractured neck of femur studied at necropsy were found to have established contralateral intracerebral lesions. These were mainly infarcts, and it suggested that the presence of hemiparesis predisposes to a fall on to the affected side and that the body weight acts through the hip joint in such a way as to fracture the femoral neck. This may happen irrespective of the magnitude of ...
