Femur fractures in children and adolescents are injuries that require careful management in order to achieve optimum outcome. Most femoral fractures in the pediatric age group are the result of high-energy trauma in the adolescent or a twisting injury or simple fall in the ambulatory toddler [1]....
Included fracture cases also exhibited diversity over anatomical locations, including the greater trochanter (54%), intertrochanter (24%), femoral neck (20%), and femoral head (2%), as well as degree of displacement, including non-displaced and mild displacement cases. Agreeing with the ...
some of the energy that would normally result in a displaced femoral neck fracture is dissipated by the shaft fracture.) In addition, many of these patients have multipleinjurieswith numerous “distracting” injuries. What is the best method of imaging the hip to avoid missing a fracture?
Ajay K. Singh, Rathachai Kaewlai, in Emergency Radiology, 2009 Intertrochanteric Fractures Intertrochanteric fractures (Fig. 4-31E) are the most common type of extracapsular fracture of the proximal femur. These fractures occur in an older population than do femoral neck fractures; men and women ...

Pistol grip deformity of the femoral head-neck junction and slipped capital femoral epiphysis can cause anterior impingement leading to pain, ...
Computed tomographic evaluation of the proximal femur: A predictive classification in displaced femoral neck fracture management Femoral neck fracture is truly an enigma due to the high incidence of avascular necrosis and nonunion. Different methods have been described to determine t... NK Magu,S Mag...
The need to take distortion into account has been demonstrated for engineering materials where the waveform parameters are used for classification of fracture modes and any distortion of the shape due to scattering is crucial [40]. However, it has not been considered in bio-materials...

Abstract Injuries of the bones and ligaments of the pelvic ring result from severe trauma, most often sustained in motor vehicle and motor bike accidents (60%–70%), followed by work-related accidents, sports-related injuries, attempted suicide, and other causes. A high number of pelvic fractu...
