The use of open reduction has been reported as 8-13% among pertrochanteric fractures, and 52% among intertrochanteric fractures. [43] Both intertrochanteric and pertrochanteric fractures may be treated by a dynamic hip screw and plate, or an intramedullary rod. [42] The fracture typically takes 3–6 months to heal.
A later study of 50 subtrochanteric fractures, which were assessed using the Seinsheimer classification, criticized the classification system for having poor inter-rater reliability. They noted that "Earlier studies of pertrochanteric [sic] and femoral neck fractures show that the use of classification systems is often difficult, with low ...
An extracapsular fracture is a bone fracture near a joint but still located outside the joint capsule. [1] Examples of extracapsular fractures are intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fractures. [citation needed]
The intertrochanteric line is a line upon the anterior aspect of the proximal end of the femur, [1] extending between the lesser trochanter and the greater trochanter. It is a rough, variable ridge. It is a rough, variable ridge.
The Müller AO Classification of fractures is a system for classifying bone fractures initially published in 1987 [1] by the AO Foundation as a method of categorizing injuries according to therognosis of the patient's anatomical and functional outcome. "AO" is an initialism for the German "Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen", the ...
Decoding organic vs. conventionally grown. These stickers can offer clues as to how your produce was grown — be it conventional or organic. The easiest way to tell the difference is if the code ...
Kim Kardashian opened up about her dating life in a recent episode of The World’s First Podcast with Erin and Sara Foster.
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 ...
