Article Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical results of long proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN) and three conventional intramedullary nails in the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures (STFs).
Methods: Using finite element analysis, we compared the therapeutic efficacy of four long intramedullary nails: the PFBN, reconstruction nail (RCN), InterTAN nail (ITN), and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) for the treatment of Seinsheimer type IIIA and type V STFs. The biomechanical stability of the implants was evaluated by calculating of von Mises stress (VMS), contact pressure and displacement for three loading scenarios.
Results: The results showed that the PFBN group had the lowest VMS values under axial, bending and torsional loads. Under axial loading conditions, the VMS of PFBN was 480.04 MPa, followed by ITN (726.39 MPa), PFNA (730.48 MPa), and RCN (837.24 MPa) in the type V fracture groups. In the PFBN group, the contact pressure was 19.22 MPa and the tangential micromotion was 0.089 mm for the type IIIA group, 23.69 MPa and 0.08 mm for the type V group. Compared to the ITN, PFNA and RCN groups, the PFBN group exhibited the lowest contact pressure and tangential micromotion at the fracture sites.
Conclusion: The superior biomechanical properties of the PFBN under axial, bending, and torsional loads not only reduced stress at the fracture site, but also improved structural stability.

Functional Outcomes in Failed Osteosynthesis of Proximal Femoral Fractures Managed by Total Hip Replacement Using the Modified Hardinge Approach: An Ambispective Cohort Study.

Introduction Proximal femoral fractures are a major cause of disability, particularly in aging populations, with an increasing incidence. Although osteosynthesis remains the first-line treatment, failures are common due to various complications. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the preferred salvage procedure in such cases, despite its technical challenges.

Department of Medical Imaging, The Canberra Hospital, Canberra, Australia.
Background: Gluteus maximus (GMax) tenotomy is a well described technique to improve femoral and/or acetabular exposure during the Kocher Langenbeck approach. Branches of the first femoral perforator artery (1FPA) are frequently encountered and may be injured during the tenotomy, causing bleeding and obscuration of surgical field. The understanding of vascular anatomy around GMax insertion is poor.

Atraumatic bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a rare phenomenon whose etiology is not fully understood. In this report, we describe the case of a 75-year-old female patient who developed rapidly onset bilateral ONFH after intra-articular corticosteroid injections. She was treated with staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty.

Background: Cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) is a skeletal maturity method that can be assessed routinely on whole spine radiographs to minimize radiation exposure. Originally used in orthodontics, its role in staging adolescent growth spurt and curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate growth rates across CVM stages, its cutoff for indicating peak growth (PG) versus growth cessation (GC), and its relationship with coronal curve progression.

Orthop Rev (Pavia)
September 2025
Introduction/background: Complex articular fractures around the knee in the elderly patient present an ongoing challenge regarding optimal treatment. While extensive research has evaluated immediate arthroplasty following fracture of the proximal femur, distal femur, proximal humerus, and elbow, relatively little focus has been given to immediate arthroplasty following complex tibia plateau fractures.
Methods: As seen with many other fractures, arthroplasty can shorten recovery and hospital stay and allow early weight-bearing with improved mobility while minimizing complications and possible future conversion arthroplasty cost.
