Download or read book Surgical Treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures written by Orlin Filipov, M.d. and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While arthroplasty is the preferred treatment for most elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, internal fixation is the treatment of choice in the majority of patients below the age of 65 as a joint-preserving procedure. The osteosynthesis of fractures of the femoral neck in the elderly has been partly abandoned during the last years due to the poor clinical outcomes following the conventional fixation with parallel screws or DHS. Based on clinical evidence and laboratory testing, the novel method of biplane double-supported screw fixation (BDSF) offers much better fixation stability, reflecting in excellent clinical outcomes. With its innovative biomechanic principle, the BDSF method provides supreme stability for cannulated screw fixation, achieving up to 44% higher axial fixation strength in vitro, and a rate of bone union reaching up to 96.6% in clinical practice, which is much higher than the conventional parallel screw fixation data.The method of BDSF provides supreme stability by buttressing two out of three medially diverging cannulated screws on the inferior femoral neck cortex and supporting the steeper inferior screw on the posterior femoral neck cortex. The two calcar screws are oriented in different coronal inclinations intended to provide constant fixation strength during different patient activities and load directions. Biomechanically, the most effective component is the inferior screw placed at an obtuse angle and supported on a large area along the inferior and posterior cortex of the femoral neck following its spiral anterior curve.Given the clinical outcomes, BDSF is the perfect technique for femoral neck fracture fixation, as the fracture healing rate is high at 96% with this approach. Therefore, BDSF is not only a treatment alternative to conventional fixation, but also a much better procedure. Thus, BDSF should be routinely applied, and conventional fixation gradually abandoned in clinical practice (this has been the approach in our institution over the last ten years).This book describes the full surgical technique of the method of BDSF for femoral neck fracture osteosynthesis; quality criteria and surgical recommendations for successful BDSF implementation, according to the vast clinical experience of ten years with this highly effective method.A novel surgical approach for hip arthroplasty is described in this book. The current trends aimed at decreasing operative trauma and blood loss have been not entirely satisfied with respect to most of the standard approaches for hip arthroplasty. These surgeries are often associated with considerable blood loss and the necessity for restricting patients activities in the postoperative period due to impaired joint stability and risk of dislocations.This book describes the full surgical technique of the novel anatomical direct lateral approach for hip arthroplasty, aimed at decreasing blood loss, minimizing operative trauma, and optimizing joint stability. This technique is associated with minimal blood loss and high joint stability. Patients are allowed to perform activities within the normal range of motion and without any special restrictions in the early postoperative period.This book describes also the history of internal fixation in femoral neck fractures, as well as the biomechanics of femoral neck fracture osteosynthesis and the role of the implants.

Download or read book Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures written by John T. Gorczyca and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing detailed case presentations from experts in the field, this book presents common clinical scenarios involving patients who have sustained displaced femoral neck fractures, discussing the injury mechanism, early treatment, potential treatment options, risks and complications involved. The style of presentation, the ease of readability, the use of appropriate and relevant cases to highlight the learning points, and the discussion of the decision-making process are all unique features of the book's approach. Using this tailored process, the each topic is reviewed and the rationale for what appears to be the optimal treatment - hemiarthroplasty or total hip replacement, for example - is provided to the reader, emphasizing that the ultimate decision requires the combination of science and judgment, both of which are continually evolving. Additional chapters present ongoing controversies in the management of these challenging fractures, as well as complications such as aseptic necrosis, symptomatic hardware and nonunions. Portable and concise, orthopedic and trauma surgeons, residents and fellows alike will find Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures a practical and user-friendly resource.
Download or read book Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis written by Pol Maria Rommens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to an increasing life expectancy of our populations the number of elderly persons is steadily growing and will continue to do so. Among these, the rate of persons with illnesses and degenerative diseases is significant. The prevalence of osteoporosis is especially high in elderly women and leads to typical fracture patterns. Hip fractures, proximal humerus fractures, distal radius fractures and fractures of the vertebral column are the most common. In the last decade, we are confronted with a sharp increase of fragility fractures of the pelvis. Until now, there is no consensus on how to identify and classify these lesions and there are no guidelines for treatment and after treatment. In particular, there is no common view on which patients need an operative treatment and which technique of osteosynthesis should be used. This book fills the gap in available literature and gives a state of the art guide to the treatment of fragility fractures of the pelvis. With the sharp increase of these fractures and the lacking consensus, Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis will become indispensable for the physicians who take care of elderly patients with this pathology. Written by a team of expert opinion leaders, the aim of this book is to contribute to the scientific discussion in this area and to help provide the optimal care for these patients.

Download or read book The Pullout Performance of Pedicle Screws written by Teyfik Demir and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief book systematically discusses all subjects that affect the pullout strength of pedicle screws. These screws are used in spinal surgeries to stabilize the spine. The holding strength of the pedicle screw is vital since loosening of the pedicle screws can cause revision surgeries. Once the pedicle screw is pulled out, it is harder to obtain same stabilization for the fused vertebrae. The book reviews the effect of screw designs, application techniques, cement augmentation, coating of the screw and test conditions on the pullout strength. The studies with finite element analysis were also included.
