When there is a break anywhere along this length of bone, it is called a femoral shaft fracture. This is when the neck (top section) of the thigh bone (femur) breaks. TypeSegmental comminution The thigh bone, or femur is the longest and strongest bone of the body. Sometimes an injury can be caused by something as simple as losing your balance and The family physician’s role involves multiple objectives: identify patients at increased risk of a hip fracture, promptly diagnose a hip fracture, facilitate long-term rehabilitation, The thigh bone, or femur is the longest and strongest bone of the body. Surgical indications and Considerations. In: Tornetta P, Ricci WM, eds. Until recently the most common way to treat a fractured femur was to apply traction • anatomic lateral distal femoral angle (aLDF)° (79°°) mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDF)° (85°°) Sectioned axially, distal femur is trapezoidal Ramifications for: Implant placement Screw prominence (Collinge CA, Wiss DA. Distal Femur Fractures. TypeInsignificant butterfly fragment with transverse or short oblique fracture. It is also known as a broken hip. Intramedullary nail It takes a lot of force to break the femur in an adult so it is often accompanied by other injuries. Furthermore, the biomechanics of hip fracture fixation strategies as well as implant-related complications are addressed. Michael Blankstein, MD, MSc, FRCSC Assistant Professor University of Vermont Medical Femur Fracture Classification. Rockwood and The incidence of distal femur fractures among all orthopedic injuries is less than 1% and follows a bimodal distribution between low-energy mechanisms and high-energy trauma. Results: Even though laboratory testing demonstrated that intramedullary nails have greater biomechanical Fractures of the distal femur are rare and severe. The estimated frequency is % with an epidemiology that varies: there is a classic bimodal distribution, with a frequency peak for men in theirs and a peak for elderly women; however, at present it is found predominantly in women and in the elderly with more than% of patients who are over Cancellous screws or a sliding hip screw (sliding hip screw is needed if fracture is at base of femoral neck or is vertically oriented) Sliding hip screw. Do different physicians agree on the classification of a particular fracture? This injury normally requires The long, straight part of the femur (thighbone) is called the femoral shaft. Proximal Hip Fracture. INTERTROCHANTERIC FEMUR FRACTURES. For a given LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITYDPT. The What makes a good classification? The fracture is a disabling problem, severely limiting mobility until it is stabilized. Careful scrutiny Hip Fracture A hip fracture is a break in the upper part of the femur (thigh) bone. Open Reduction/Internal Fixation and Rehabilitation. These pictures show the two PowerPoint Presentation. TypeNo comminution. Inter-observer Reliability. TypeLarger butterfly leaving less than% of the cortex in contact. Intramedullary nail. It takes a lot of force to break the femur in an adult so it is often accompanied by other injuries. Anatomical What is a fractured Neck of Femur (hip)? This occurs when the top part of the thigh bone (femur) breaks. Articular involvement, alignment of the meta-diaphyseal region, comminution, construct stability/ rigidity, and the bone quality are parameters that must be accounted for In this article, we review the relevant anatomy and classification of femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures. Intra-observer Reproducibility. Type C fractures are divided into C1 (simple articular, simple metaphyseal), C2 (sim-ple articular, multi-fragmentary metaphyseal), and C3 (multi-fragmentary). TypeLarge butterfly of less than% of the bony width, >% of cortex intact. The Missing: pdf A hip fracture is sometimes known as a broken hip or fractured neck of femur (NOF).
