Background: Legg-Calve´-Perthes disease is a juvenile idiopathic osteonecrosis in which the blood supply of femoral head is not sufficient and the bone dies provisionally. The aim of this study is to evaluate outcome of Femoral osteotomy in children with LCPD in our University Hospital.   Methods: In a descriptive analytic study, between 2008 and 2013, patients with the diagnosis of Legg-Calv...

During the initial fragmentation stage of Perthes disease, the principle focus is to achieve containment of the femoral head within the acetabulum. Whether by bracing, abduction casts, femoral and/or pelvic osteotomy, the goals are to maximize the range of hip motion and to avoid incongruity, hoping to avert subsequent femoro-acetabular impingement or hinge abduction. A more subtle and insidiou...

The purpose of the study was to analyse the occurrence of the third trochanter and its correlation with the morphology of the human femur. The third trochanter was found in 38 of 622 (6.2%) human femora taken from 3 excavation sites. 36 of these were included in the study and were compared to the femora without the third trochanter. The bones with the third trochanter were characterised by a gr...

A 40-year-old patient was hospitalized for inflammatory pain in the superior-external surface of the right thigh evolving since 8 months, with no change in the general condition or fever. The pressure towards the right large trochanter was painful without local inflammatory signs. Biology did not show any inflammatory syndrome. The X-ray of the pelvis revealed an osteolytic lesion of the right ...

The objective of this study was to describe the footprint location of the iliopsoas tendon on the lesser trochanter to clarify the surgical implications of the lesser trochanterplasty for treating ischiofemoral impingement. Ten non-matched, fresh-frozen, cadaveric hemipelvis specimens (average age, 62.4 years; range, 48-84 years; 7 male and 3 female) were included. Registered measures included ...

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...
