  2. Femoral fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_fracture

    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]

  3. Humerus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus_fracture

    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]

  4. Lesser trochanter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_trochanter

    The lesser trochanter is a conical posteromedial projection of the shaft of the femur, projecting from the posteroinferior aspect of its junction with the femoral neck. [1] The summit and anterior surface of the lesser trochanter are rough, whereas its posterior surface is smooth. [1] From its apex three well-marked borders extend: [2]

  5. 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]

  7. Upper extremity of femur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_extremity_of_femur

    The head of the femur is connected to the shaft through the neck or collum. The neck is 4–5 cm. long and the diameter is smallest front to back and compressed at its middle. The collum forms an angle with the shaft in about 130 degrees. This angle is highly variant. In the infant it is about 150 degrees and in old age reduced to 120 degrees ...

  8. Proximal humerus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal_humerus_fracture

    A proximal humerus fracture is a break of the upper part of the bone of the arm . [3] Symptoms include pain, swelling, and a decreased ability to move the shoulder . [ 1 ] Complications may include axillary nerve or axillary artery injury.

  9. Femur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femur

    The lower extremity of the femur (or distal extremity) is the thickest femoral extremity, the upper extremity is the shortest femoral extremity. It is somewhat cuboid in form, but its transverse diameter is greater than its antero-posterior (front to back). It consists of two oblong eminences known as the condyles. [3]
