Article Abstract
Background: Establishing fracture consolidation and avoiding postoperative complications of comminuted subtrochanteric fractures of the femur are technically challenging. The authors delineated a technical description of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) by using a reverse distal femur locking compression plate (LCP-DF) and retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of these particular fractures.
Methods: Fifty patients with 51 type C subtrochanteric fractures of the femur were operated on by MIPO and reverse LCP-DF fixation. The collected data included postoperative complications, union times, and clinical outcomes.
Results: All fractures were united with a mean union time of 19.4 weeks (range 16-22). Regarding postoperative complications, asymptomatic valgus angulation occurred in five patients and trochanteric pain in six. According to Harris hip score, nine patients were determined to be excellent, 36 to be good and five to be fair.
Conclusion: MIPO by reverse LCP-DF is reliable and effective for type C subtrochanteric fractures of the femur particularly in situations where intramedullary nailing is not feasible.

Hip Hemiarthroplasty vs Total Hip Arthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fractures: Reverse Fragility of Reoperation Rates in Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has theoretical advantages and disadvantages over hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures. Numerous studies have suggested equivalent reoperation rates between the procedures. The purpose of this study was to use the reverse fragility index (RFI) to evaluate the statistical robustness of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting nonsignificant differences in reoperation rates between hip hemiarthroplasty and THA for femoral neck fractures.

Purpose: Femoral neck fractures are clinically rare and are associated with a high risk of complications in children. Traditional internal fixation implants such as Kirschner wires and partial-thread cannulated screws (PTCS) have complications such as screw withdrawal and internal fixation failure. To address this problem, in this study we investigated the effectiveness of headless cannulated compression screws (HCCS) in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in children patients.

Load asymmetry in the lower limbs of patients with hip fracture is associated with decreased gait ability, impaired balance, and increased risk of fall. The modified sit-to-stand (STS), which combines positioning the foot behind with chair seat elevation, facilitates loading on the affected limb. This study aimed to investigate lower limb load asymmetry during STS and walking in patients with hip fracture after modified STS training.

Aims: The number of hip fractures is increasing, with significant mortality and morbidity, particularly among frail and comorbid patients. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have proven effective in elective orthopaedics, but this has not been investigated in people with hip fractures. This study aimed to identify current perioperative practice and develop a cohesive ERAS pathway tailored for hip fracture patients, to standardize and optimize care.

Osteoporosis constitutes a significant global health concern, however the development of novel treatments is challenging due to the limited cost-effectiveness and ethical concerns inherent to placebo-controlled clinical trials. Computational approaches are emerging as alternatives for the development and assessment of biomedical interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of an In Silico trial technology (BoneStrength) to predict hip fracture incidence by implementing a novel approach designed to reproduce the phenomenology of falls as reported in clinical data, and by testing its accuracy in three virtual cohorts characterised by different risk profiles.
