2. Vertebral compression fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_compression_fracture

   A compression fracture is a collapse of a vertebra. It may be due to trauma or due to a weakening of the vertebra (compare with burst fracture ). This weakening is seen in patients with osteoporosis or osteogenesis imperfecta , lytic lesions from metastatic or primary tumors , [ 1 ] or infection. [ 2 ]

3. Dynamic compression plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_compression_plate

   The sliding screw plate (dynamic compression screw, dynamic hip screw) may be used to treat intertrochanteric fractures as well as other injuries. This device consists of a lag screw and a side plate with a barrel. The sliding screw telescopes and provides fixation while allowing impaction to occur at the fracture during healing and weight ...

4. Femoral fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_fracture

   A femoral fracture is a bone fracture that involves the femur. They are typically sustained in high-impact trauma, such as car crashes , due to the large amount of force needed to break the bone. Fractures of the diaphysis , or middle of the femur, are managed differently from those at the head, neck, and trochanter ; those are conventionally ...

5. Hip spica cast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_spica_cast

   Hip spicas were formerly common in reducing femoral fractures. Spica casts are used for treating hip dysplasia (developmental dislocation of hip). [1] [2] Spica casts are typically made using a soft padded lining, which tightly wrapped around the leg and hip joint. It is then wrapped in either a fiberglass or plaster cast.

6. Hip fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_fracture

   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.

7. Dynamic hip screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_hip_screw

   Dynamic hip screw [ citation needed ] It is the most commonly used implant for extracapsular fractures of the hip, [ 1 ] which are common in older osteoporotic patients. There are 3 components of a dynamic hip screw, including a lag screw (inserted into the neck of the femur), a sideplate and several cortical screws (fixated into the proximal ...
