at neck region called as Trans cervical neck fracture. Third bone shows fracture that happens at intertrochanteric line of femur bone known as Intertrochanteric fracture. The fourth bone shows the fracture that happens at sub trochanteric region named as subtrochanteric fracture, Fracture that happens at greater trochanter region shown in fifth bone is known as fracture at greater trochanter, i...

A variety of techniques have been used to determine intra-operative leg length during total hip arthroplasty. One method often described is using the tip of greater trochanter as the reference for the rotation centre of the femoral head to align the femoral component. There is little in the literature to support this method of leg length restoration. We analysed standard anterior-posterior pelv...

BACKGROUND Bone mineral density (BMD) is a primary risk factor for hip fracture. We studied the effect of long-term weighted vest plus jumping exercise on hip BMD in postmenopausal women as a strategy for reducing hip fracture risk. METHODS Eighteen postmenopausal women (age = 64.1 +/- 1.6 years at baseline, 69.9 +/- 1.6 years at post-testing) who had participated in a 9-month exercise interv...

A six-year-old, female, spayed Labrador Retriever was evaluated for progressive lameness of one year duration, ending in non-weight-bearing of the right hindlimb. The dog had a history of severe coxarthrosis of both hip joints, and had a HELICA hip prosthesis implanted in the right hip 18 months before. On survey radiographs, the acetabular and femoral components appeared unstable, with a large...

A boy of seven years was brought to the hospital after a fall from his bicycle. His companion, whom he had taken as a pillion rider, fell over him from behind when the incident occurred. Examination showed that the right hip was acutely flexed, the thigh touching the anterior abdominal wall. The thigh was not abducted, adducted or rotated. The knee was fully flexed and the whole limb was suppor...
