  2. Femoroacetabular impingement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoroacetabular_impingement

    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 less indicates high risk of cam type impingement; Tönnis angle

  3. Hip replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_replacement

    Femoral (neck) offset is defined as the perpendicular distance between the intramedullary or longitudinal axis of the femur and the center of rotation of the native or prosthetic femoral head. An offset of less than 33 mm is associated with hip dislocation. [94] [95] Hemiarthroplasty is a surgical procedure that replaces one half of the joint ...

  4. Hip fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_fracture

    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]

  5. Femoral neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_neck

    Femoral neck. Upper extremity of right femur viewed from behind and above. Right femur. Anterior surface. The femoral neck ( femur neck or neck of the femur) is a flattened pyramidal process of bone, connecting the femoral head with the femoral shaft, and forming with the latter a wide angle opening medialward.

  6. Femoral fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_fracture

    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 ...

  7. Acetabular fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabular_fracture

    Elementary fracture Description Associated fractures Description Posterior wall: This is the most common variety of acetabular fracture. It typically occurs due to dashboard injury; when a person travelling in a vehicle involved in a head-on collision, the force applied over the flexed knee travels along the femur bone to the head of the femur, breaking the posterior wall of the acetabulum.

  8. Hip arthroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_arthroscopy

    Hip arthroscopy. Intraoperative fluoroscopic image during an arthroscopic resection of a cam lesion of the femur. The upper instrument is the arthroscope (viewing device), while the lower is the high-speed burr used for reshaping the bone. Hip arthroscopy refers to the viewing of the interior of the acetabulofemoral (hip) joint through an ...

  9. Dynamic hip screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. [citation needed] It is the most commonly used implant for extracapsular fractures of the hip, [ 1] which are common ...
