Treatment of Displaced diaphyseal femoral shaft fracture in children between 3 to 13 years is controversial. Various methods are available for treatment. Titanium elastic nailing is one of the methods for treatment of femur shaft fracture in children. In our study we have assessed the outcome of titanium elastic nailing for fracture shaft femur in children. We have found that titanium elastic n...

hip fractures are one of the most common injuries which present to an orthopaedic surgeon. most of these cases are unilateral .bilateral simultaneous femur neck fracture is a rare occurrence. we report a case of a bilateral neck femur fracture in a 30 year male following a generalized tonic clonic seizure in view of its rarity and also to increase the awareness of such rare injuries. the patien...

Simultaneous post-traumatic ipsilateral fracture of femur head and subcapital femur neck without hip dislocation is a rare presentation and easily missed on X-ray imaging. A 48 years old male, with a history of high-energy road traffic accident, presented to us with severe pain in the left hip region and inability to ambulate. Preliminary X-ray showed impacted subcapital fracture with varus ang...

simultaneous fractures of the femoral neck and shaft are not common injuries, though they cannot be considered rare. herein, we report our experience with a patient with bilateral occurance of this injury. up to the best of our knowkedge this is the first case reported in literature in which correct diagnosis was made initially. both femurs were fixed using broad 4.5 mm dynamic compression plat...

background: fractures of the femoral shaft are mostly the result of high-energy accidents that also cause multiple trauma injuries, in particular ipsilateral knee and hip injuries. the purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of injuries associated with femoral shaft fractures and how many of them were undetected. methods: we studied 148 patients (150 femoral shaft fractures) with...

we present a case report of acute spontaneous knee hemarthosis due to erosion of the nail through the knee joint capsule in a boy, seven months following retrograde flexible nailing for fractured femur. careful positioning of the location of the insertion site of flexible nails and proper nail tip management are important to avoid this rare late complication.

Mouse fracture models have become increasingly versatile tools for the study of how fractures heal. Mouse genes can be specifically modified using transgenic technology, thereby providing the opportunity to study the roles of individual genes during the fracture healing process. The mouse rib fracture model is a reliable model for use in studies of gene expression during fracture healing, which...

We present a case of a bisphosphonate-related femur fracture in an elderly woman, who failed treatment with both cephalomedullary nail and proximal femoral locking plate, leading to successful treatment with total hip arthroplasty. Hardware failure should be included in the differential of patients with previous internal fixation of bisphosphonate-related femur fracture that present with hip or...
