Pediatric femur diaphyseal fractures are seen after serious traumas such as traffic accidents and fall from height. Although treatment algorithms made according to age groups, planning is individualized the patient degree of injury. In our study, we evaluated functional outcomes pediatric treated with titanium elastic nail (TEN). This a retrospective study including femoral TEN between 2012 202...

PURPOSE Rates of evaluation and treatment for osteoporosis following distal radius fragility fractures remain low. As a subset of patients with these fractures undergo diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scan of the wrist, utilizing bone mineral density (BMD) measurements available with this imaging can be used to detect osteopenia or osteoporosis. This information may consequently prompt inter...

The human femur is subjected to an impulsive load at its distal end during daily life. Femoral bone fracture caused by impact loading is common in elderly women. It is important to clarify the dynamic response of the femur and to evaluate the change in its stress state during impact loading. A 3-dimensional model of the femur was prepared in the present study, and the impulsive stress waves pro...

PURPOSE To evaluate treatment outcomes of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for distal femoral fractures in 31 patients. METHODS 22 male and 9 female consecutive patients aged 21 to 65 (mean, 42) years underwent minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis using a locking compression plate (LCP) for distal femoral fractures. The causes of injury were vehicular accidents (n=24), falls ...

UNLABELLED The management of periprosthetic fracture around the knee remains a challenging problem. The objective of this article was to review the general concepts, treatment algorithms, and the overall treatment outcomes of femoral and tibial periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty. This article aimed to highlight the deficiencies of the current classification systems that fail...

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...

hoffa fracture is a rare injury consisting of unicondylar tangential posterior fracture of the distal femur and only very few cases have been reported in the literature. these fractures are due to high energy trauma and conservative treatment generally yields poor results, but rigid internal fixation allows early functional rehabilitation and decreases the incidence of complications. the purpos...

BACKGROUND Fractures which need urgent or emergency treatment are common in children and adolescents. This study investigated the incidence patterns of pediatric and adolescent orthopaedic fractures according to age groups and seasons in South Korea based on population data. METHODS Data on the number of pediatric and adolescent patients under the age of 18 years who utilized medical services...

Background/Purpose: Poliomyelitis (polio) was prevalent in certain parts of the world in the 1950s. As post-polio patients age, low-energy proximal, shaft, and distal femoral fractures are becoming more common in this population. Unique problems include altered bony anatomy affecting reduction and conventional implant placement. Impaired bone quality and muscle strength pose significant challen...
