Proximal femoral fragility fractures are common and result in significant morbidity and
mortality along with a considerable socioeconomic burden. The goals of this article are to …

Abstract Background Proximal femur fractures (PFFs) occur frequently among geriatric
patients due to diverse risk factors, such as a lower bone mineral density and the increased …

Background Cut-out is the most common mechanical complication of the osteosynthesis of
pertrochanteric fractures. This complication determines a significant increase in morbidity in …

Background. The dynamic hip screw (DHS) with the addition of an angular stable trochanter‐
stabilizing plate (TSP) has been considered the ideal treatment for the unstable …

Cut-out is one of the most common mechanical failures in the internal fixation of trochanteric
hip fractures. The tip-apex distance (TAD), and the calcar-referenced tip apex distance …

Background The major objective of the present study is to investigate the differences in the
load and strain changes in the intertrochanteric region of human cadaveric femora between …

Objective The incidence of hip fracture in the elderly is increasing. Robot navigation
technology has the advantages of minimally invasive and accurate. To explore the …

Objective To reveal noteworthy characteristics of intramedullary (IM) nail breakage in
pertrochanteric femur fractures. Materials and methods The data from 6 patients with IM nail …

Background The use of polymethylmethacrylate cement for in-situ implant augmentation has
considerable disadvantages: it is potentially cytotoxic, exothermic and non-degradable …

Objective To evaluate long-term radiographic and functional outcomes between dynamic hip
screw (DHS) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) fixation for treatment of …
