A 2015 Cochrane review (updated in 2022) found that available evidence for treatment options of distal femur fractures is insufficient to inform clinical practice and that there is a priority for a high-quality trial to be undertaken. [8]
Proximal femur fracture; [1] femoral neck fracture [main hyponym]; femoral head fracture [other hyponym] Intertrochanteric hip fracture in a 17-year-old male: Symptoms: Pain around the hip particularly with movement, shortening of the leg [2] Types: Intracapsular, extracapsular (intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, greater trochanteric, lesser ...
Dynamic hip screw. Dynamic hip screw (DHS) or Sliding Screw Fixation is a type of orthopaedic implant designed for fixation of certain types of hip fractures which allows controlled dynamic sliding of the femoral head component along the construct.
A traction splint most commonly refers to a splinting device that uses straps attaching over the pelvis or hip as an anchor, a metal rod(s) to mimic normal bone stability and limb length, and a mechanical device to apply traction (used in an attempt to reduce pain, realign the limb, and minimize vascular and neurological complication) to the limb.
The Seinsheimer classification is a system of categorizing subtrochanteric hip fractures based on the fracture pattern of the proximal femoral shaft. The classification was developed by Frank Seinsheimer III in 1978. In the published work, fifty-six patients were treated for subtrochanteric fractures, and their fractures were "classified ...
X-ray showing the proximal portion of a fractured tibia with an intramedullary nail The surgical treatment of mandibular angle fracture; fixation of the bone fragments by the plates, the principles of osteosynthesis are stability (immobility of the fragments that creates the conditions for bones coalescence) and functionality Proximal femur ...

Pipkin: posterior dislocation of hip with avulsion fracture of fragment of femoral head by the ligamentum teres: impact to the knee with the hip flexed (dashboard injury)
Shepherd's Crook deformity is a severe form of coxa vara where the proximal femur is severely deformed with a reduction in the neck shaft angle beyond 90 degrees. It is most commonly a sequela of osteogenesis imperfecta , Paget's disease, osteomyelitis, tumour and tumour-like conditions (e.g. fibrous dysplasia ).
