case report: we report a 44-year-old man with right femoral nerve palsy following delayed reduction of an anterior dislocation of hip. conclusion: two months after closed reduction, complete clinical recovery of right femoral nerve was achieved and the patient was able to resume his job. introduction: incidence of nerve injury in traumatic hip dislocations is up to 10 %. sciatic nerve is the mo...

conclusions surgical and post-surgical findings showed that this segment was not related to the patient’s femur. the foreign segment may have belonged to the other victim of this trauma. introduction femoral shaft fracture is one of the typical bone fractures due to high energy trauma and may occur as an open fracture. some foreign materials may enter the fracture site such as sand, cloth parti...

The fixation of distal femoral fractures (Vancouver type-C fractures) following a well-fixed hip arthroplasty femoral stem has become a challenging issue for orthopedic surgeons due to the inter-prosthetic biomechanical effects such as negative, positive, and torsional strain. Surgeons have applied a range of constructs to overcome these difficulties. To minimize the risk of inter-prosthetic fr...

introduction: today, temporary or permanent venous catheters are being increasingly used in patients with renal failure. it seems a necessity to be familiar with their clinical applications and complications as well as their efficacy. the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two catheters of 16 cm and 20 cm lengths. methods: this research project was a descriptive, analytic study co...

conclusions we underscored the importance of endocrinologic disorders in craniopharyngioma cases. such disorders should be taken into consideration and be followed up. introduction slipped capital femoral epiphysis is characterized by the slippage of the proximal femoral epiphysis on the metaphysis, which is sometimes associated with an underlying endocrine disorder. panhypopituitarism due to c...

the aim of this study is to compare three modes of femoral fixation, namely aperfix, rigidfix and endobutton, in anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction. 120 patients were randomly assigned to three groups, each consisting of 40 patients, and each group was treated by one of the above mentioned methods of femoral fixation. all patients were examined prior to and 24 months after surgery,...

background: some studies have previously shown that geometry of proximal femur can affect the probability of fracture and type of fracture. it happens since the geometry of the proximal femur determines how a force is applied to its different parts. in this study, we have compared proximal femur’s geometric characteristics in femoral neck (fnf), intertrochanteric (itf) and subtrochanteric (stf)...
