For femoral shaft fractures, reduction and intramedullary nailing is currently recommended. [14] The bone is re-aligned, then a metal rod is placed into the femoral bone marrow, and secured with nails at either end. This method offers less exposure, a 98–99% union rate, lower infection rates (1–2%) and less muscular scarring. [14] [15] [17]
A humerus fracture is a break of the humerus bone in the upper arm. [1] Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and bruising. [1] There may be a decreased ability to move the arm and the person may present holding their elbow. [2]
Proximal humerus fracture; Other names: Proximal humeral fracture: Multi-fragmented fracture of the proximal humerus with involvement of the greater tuberosity: Specialty: Orthopedics: Symptoms: Pain, swelling, decreased ability to move the shoulder [1] Types: 1 part, 2 part, 3 part, 4 part [2] Causes: Fall onto the arm, direct trauma to the ...
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip. This bursa is at the top, outer side of the femur, between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft. It has the function, in common ...
A hip fracture is a break that occurs in the upper part of the femur (thigh bone), at the femoral neck or (rarely) the femoral head. [2] Symptoms may include pain around the hip, particularly with movement, and shortening of the leg. [2] Usually the person cannot walk. [3] A hip fracture is usually a femoral neck fracture.
The other two borders of the femur are only slightly marked: the lateral border extends from the antero-inferior angle of the greater trochanter to the anterior extremity of the lateral condyle; the medial border from the intertrochanteric line, at a point opposite the lesser trochanter, to the anterior extremity of the medial condyle.
Femoral nerve dysfunction, also known as femoral neuropathy, is a rare type of peripheral nervous system disorder that arises from damage to nerves, specifically the femoral nerve. [1] Given the location of the femoral nerve, indications of dysfunction are centered around the lack of mobility and sensation in lower parts of the legs.
Borderline: 69° to 82° in men, 51° to 56° in women; Pathological: ≥83° in men and ≥57° in women; Femoral head-neck offset Measured in cross-lateral view. Offset of the femoral head with regard to most prominent aspect of the femora neck >10 mm Offset percentage Femoral head-neck offset related to femoral head diameter >0.18
