a 3-year-old wild gray wolf was referred to the department of veterinary clinical sciences of shirazuniversity with a history of car accident. the radiographic examination showed supracondylar distal femoralfracture in right leg. the wolf was pre-medicated by acepromazine followed by induction of anesthesia usinga combination of diazepam and ketamine. anesthesia was maintained by halothane. the...

abstract we report a 71 year-old patient with intertrochanteric fracture who had been managed with dhs and her healed fracture complicated by a subcapital femoral neck fracture. a subcapital femoral neck fracture complicating a healed intertrochanteric fracture is rare but catastrophic event. such cases are managed in a hetereogenous manner, i.e. there exists a mixture of cases treated by eithe...

BACKGROUND Recent findings that subchondral insufficiency fracture in the femoral head may precede rapid chondrolysis suggest a role for systemic low bone mass in the genesis of rapidly destructive hip osteoarthritis (RDHOA). OBJECTIVE To compare bone mineral density (BMD) in females with RDHOA and those with common hip osteoarth-ritis (OA). METHODS This prospective case-control study invol...

INTRODUCTION Subchondral insufficiency fracture (SIF) of femoral head is not very common cause of hip pain. This usually occurs in elderly osteoporotic patients or fatigue fracture in young military recruits. CASE REPORT We report a case of hip pain in an osteoporotic male which was diagnosed on MRI after the condition was missed by two physicians initially. Patient responded well to conserva...

The authors describe the case of a 51-year-old woman with an osteonecrosis of her right femoral head after treatment of an atypical subtrochanteric fracture caused by pycnodysostosis. She had this fracture after a low-trauma fall. She was of short stature with typical facial features, short stubby hands, and radiological features including open cranial sutures, obtuse mandible, and generalized ...

conclusions time plays an important role in treatment results of femoral neck fractures. to treat the fractures, closed reduction and fixation using cannulated screws may still be the best option. objectives the present study aimed to evaluate long-term results of delayed fixation of femoral neck fractures using cannulated screws. patients and methods this retrospective descriptive-analytical s...

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) is a pathologic process that results from interruption of blood supply to the femur bone resulting in the death of bone cells and collapse of the femoral head. Nontraumatic ANFH continuesto be a significant challenge to orthopedic surgeons. While the exact mechanisms remain elusive, many new insights have emerged from research in the last decade tha...

INTRODUCTION Bone grafting is an integral part of orthopaedic surgery; the use of bone graft is increasing consistently in traumatology and also in complex revision surgeries of hip and knee arthroplasties. Considering this fact there is a need for some way to find solution for a bone graft which has more osteoinduction, osteoconduction as well as osteogenecity and also reduced rates of graft r...

BACKGROUND Many studies that analyzed bone mineral density (BMD) and skeletal factors of hip fractures were based on uncalibrated radiographs or dual-energy xray absorptiometry (DXA). QUESTIONS/PURPOSES Spatial accuracy in measuring BMD and morphologic features of the femur with DXA is limited. This study investigated differences in BMD and morphologic features of the femur between two types ...
