  2. Intramedullary rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramedullary_rod

    X-ray showing the proximal portion of a fractured tibia with an intramedullary nail Proximal femur nail with locking and stabilisation screws for treatment of femur fractures of left thigh. An intramedullary rod, also known as an intramedullary nail (IM nail) or inter-locking nail or Küntscher nail (without proximal or distal fixation), is a ...

  3. 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]

  4. 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.

  5. Osteomyelitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteomyelitis

    Symptoms may include pain in a specific bone with overlying redness, fever, and weakness. [1] The feet, spine, and hips are the most commonly involved bones in adults. [2] The cause is usually a bacterial infection, [1] [7] [2] but rarely can be a fungal infection. [8] It may occur by spread from the blood or from surrounding tissue. [4]

  6. Fibrous dysplasia of bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_dysplasia_of_bone

    Bone pain is a common complication of fibrous dysplasia. It may present at any age, but most commonly develops during adolescence and progresses into adulthood. [7] Bone marrow stromal cells in fibrous dysplasia produce excess amounts of the phosphate-regulating hormone fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), leading to loss of phosphate in the ...

  7. Bone malrotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_malrotation

    Bone malrotation refers to the situation that results when a bone heals out of rotational alignment from another bone, or part of bone. It often occurs as the result of a surgical complication after a fracture where intramedullary nailing (IMN) occurs, [1] especially in the femur and tibial bones, but can also occur genetically at birth.

  8. Osteotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteotomy

    A subtrochanteric blade plate or an intramedullary rod can be used to stabilize the osteotomy site in a femoral derotation osteotomy until compete bone healing is achieved; an approach employing an intramedullary rod is much less invasive than one using a subtrochanteric blade plate. [citation needed]}

  9. Brodie abscess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodie_abscess

    Brodie's abscess is characterized by pain and swelling without fever, often resulting from diabetic wounds, fracture-related bone infection, or haematogenous osteomyelitis. The condition is often diagnosed through imaging, which reveals distinctive "target signs" such as central necrosis , surrounding granulation tissue, fibrosis , and an ...
