conclusions the most relevant finding was that hook pinning in pauwels type iii fracture may result in delayed :union: or non:union: due to significantly increased stress of a traction force at the fracture site that works to displace the fracture. however, in a pauwels type i fracture, increased compression stress contributes to stabilize it. surgeons are recommended not to treat pauwels type ...

results daily administration of 50 mg/kg ptx (groups 1 and 2) decreased the high stress load in repairing osteotomized femurs when compared with the control group. the highest dose of ptx (200 mg/kg) significantly increased the high stress load when compared with the control group (p = 0.030), group 1 (p = 0.023), group 2 (p = 0.008), and group 3 (p = 0.010), per the lsd findings. materials and...

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...

  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) wi...

background: respiratory problems are common after long bone fractures. the objective of the present investigation is to evaluate the effect of early fixation of femoral shaft fracture on the incidence of respiratory problems.   methods: the results of early and late stabilization of femoral shaft fractures were studied in 150 patients. the patients were divided into two groups according to the ...

background femur fracture is one of the most common fractures in children. certain parameters such as the patient’s age, the exact location of fracture, type of fracture, the mechanism of fracture, and the accompanying injuries determine which one of the many treatment techniques be used in each case. objectives we aimed to compare the results of close and open techniques in pediatric femoral s...
