Proximal femoral fractures, also known as hip fractures, are common injuries that affect older adults, especially women. These fractures involve the upper part of the femur, which includes the femoral head, the femoral neck, the intertrochanteric region, and the femoral shaft. The most common type
Distal Tibia Medial plating and screws Case description A 65-year-old man fell down a flight of stairs and presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of left leg pain. Clinically, the patient had
Partial articular fracture—plate fixation Case description A 53-year old man injured his right ankle in a motor vehicle accident. Clinical examination revealed a swollen and painful right ankle. It was a
Metaphyseal fracture with joint involvement Case description A 38-year-old woman was involved in a motor vehicle accident. She experienced immediate pain and noticed her left lower extremity was deformed. In the
Tibial shaft fracture extending into the plafond—plate fixation Case description A 26-year-old man fell from a height of 3 m into a hole sustaining an injury to his right lower extremity. He was initially admitted to a hospital where
A 54-year-old, right-hand-dominant, high school principal presents to the emergency department with severe left elbow pain after a fall onto the extremity which she sustained earlier that morning while walking her dog. She notes pain with any movement of the elbow, and her clinical examination
What assay is commonly used to examine the level of messenger RNA (mRNA) of a particular gene? Western blot Southern blot Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) Immunocytochemical analysis Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(OBQ14.208) When treating a proximal tibia fracture, the surgeon decides to (1) use blocking screws in the proximal fragment, and (2) pick the intramedullary nail based on the location of the Herzog curve. Which of the following combinations will best prevent the classic deformity associated with
PATIENT HISTORY AND PHYSICAL FINDINGS Distal humerus fractures occur in two age groups: Younger patients who sustain high-energy trauma Older patients with underlying osteopenia Comminution is the dominant feature of supracondylar and
DEFINITION Intramedullary nailing techniques are typically used for closed and open displaced diaphyseal tibial fractures. The indications for intramedullary nailing can be extended to proximal and distal metaphyseal tibia fractures, including those associated with simple articular
DEFINITION Tibial plateau fractures are intra-articular fractures that may result in a malalignment of the articular surface and bear the risk of subsequent arthritis. ANATOMY The tibial plateau consists of three osseous structures: the lateral plateau, the
DEFINITION A femoral shaft fracture is any fracture of the femoral diaphysis from 5 cm below the lesser trochanter to within 6 to 8 cm of the distal femoral articular surface. Some fracture lines extend proximal or distal to the shaft and are therefore not considered shaft fractures. This
DEFINITION Peritrochanteric hip fractures are defined as extracapsular hip fractures, always involving the trochanter and frequently with extension into the subtrochanteric region. Medicare data indicates that as management of osteoporosis has improved, individual risk of sustaining a
DEFINITION Fractures of the proximal femur are usually grouped into four major types reflecting differences in the anatomic and physiologic character of these regions: Femoral head fractures Intracapsular femoral neck fractures Pertrochanteric fractures (also referred to
