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...

INTRODUCTION Posterior dislocation of the hip joint with associated acetabular and intertrochanteric fracture is a complex injury. Early recognition, prompt and stable reduction is needed of successful outcome. CASE REPORT 45 year old male patient presented with posterior dislocation of the hip with transverse fracture with posterior wall fracture of acetabulam and intertrochanteric fracture ...

Inter trochanteric fractures or Hip fractures are devastating injuries that most commonly affect the elderly and have a tremendous impact on both the health care system and society in general. The objective is to study the age and sex incidence of intertrochanteric fracture of femur, to study the quality of life after hemiarthroplasty in intertrochanteric fractures and to study the morbidity an...

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...

fractures with an intact posteromedial buttress, have been successfully treated with a sliding hip screw or blade.1 However, unstable intertrochanteric fractures tend to collapse even after adequate reduction and fixation with plating, and thus intramedullary nailing is recommended.2 Unstable intertrochanteric fractures include fractures with posteromedial comminution, a reverse oblique configu...

INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES Approximately 50% of intertrochanteric fractures are stable and have minimal or no posteromedial comminution. The remaining 50% are unstable and have posteromedial instability and little resistance to varus deformity.1,4,5 Older rigid devices led to cutout or penetration of the nail as the fracture impacted. In the late 1960s, sliding devices were developed to allow ...

PATIENT Female, 30. PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS Intertrochanteric fracture under an arthrodesed hip. CO-EXISTING DISEASES Developmental dysplasia of the hip. MEDICATION Pain • inability to walk. CLINICAL PROCEDURE Open reduction and internal fixation. SPECIALTY Orthopedics and traumatology. OBJECTIVE Rare disease, Unusual setting of medical care. BACKGROUND An intertrochanteric fracture amo...

Failure of internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture is associated with delayed union or malunion resulting in persistent pain and diminished function. We report a rare case of implant failure of the gamma nail with intertrochanteric fracture non union treated by DCS plate screw and bone graft.
