Femoral Osteotomy: An Overview Figure 1: Normal anatomy of the femur and hip joint. The angle of the femoral neck to the shaft of the femur is called version. This can be considered to be the twist or torsion of the femur bone. Normal version is a forward angle of 12-15 degrees.In individuals with version deformities, the femoral neck may be rotated either too far forward-a condition called excessive anteversion, or too far backward, which is called retroversion.his can be considered to be the twist or torsion of the femur bone.

Femoral Fractures Fractures of the femoral neck - far more common in the elderly. Fractures of the femoral shaft and supracondylar fractures - usually caused by violent trauma and most often occur in adolescents and young adults. Femoral stress fractures - partial-thickness fractures, most commonly affecting the femoral neck.

Hip Fracture Types and Complications A broken hip is a common injury, especially in elderly individuals with thinning bone. In the United States, hip fractures are the most common broken bone that requires hospitalization; about 300,000 Americans are hospitalized for a hip fracture every year. A broken hip and a hip fracture mean the same thing. Hip fractures in the elderly are most often caused by a fall, usually a seemingly insignificant fall. In younger patients with stronger bones, more common causes of a broken hip include high-energy injuries such as car accidents or falls from a height.

- A femoral neck fracture is a hip fracture in which the neck of the thigh bone (femur) is partially or completely broken. Femoral neck fractures may occur as a result of a fall or motor vehicle accident, or they may occur spontaneously because of a disease process such as osteoporosis. Stress fractures can result from repetitive mechanical stress or structural defects in the bone that make it weak or brittle.

Hip: Vancouver Hip: Vancouver. Various classification systems for periprosthetic fractures of the proximal femur are described in the literature. A comprehensive classification system for periprosthetic femur fractures is the Vancouver Classification for fractures following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). According to the Vancouver Classification Type A, Type B1 and Type C periprosthetic fractures with a stable implant, may be treated with ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation)[1].

Types of Femoral Shaft Fractures Your thighbone (femur) is the longest and strongest bone in your body. Because the femur is so strong, it usually takes a lot of force to break it. Car crashes, for example, are the number one cause of femur fractures. The long, straight part of the femur is called the femoral shaft.

Practice Essentials Low bone mass (T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 at the femoral neck or spine) and a 10-year probability of a hip fracture ≥ 3% or a 10-year probability of a major osteoporosis-related fracture ≥ 20% based on the US-adapted WHO algorithm.

hip fracture vernacular term for fracture of the femoral neck, typically resulting from a fall in an old person with osteoporosis; more common in women; requires surgical repair with internal fixation and can lead to prolonged or permanent loss of mobility and shortened life span. Total hip replacement.

- Occasionally, after certain types of hip fractures, the procedure of choice may be hip replacement. This option is chosen when the fracture cannot be repaired or repair has little chance for clinical success, such as in an 80-year-old with a severely displaced femoral neck fracture.

The role of the calcar femorale in stress distribution in the proximal femur The calcar femorale is often involved in proximal femoral fracture. If the calcar femorale is broken by, or adjoining, a proximal femoral fracture, the fracture can be considered unstable. To manage such fractures, it is critical to achieve anatomic reduction and fixation of the calcar femorale.

Fixing Hip Fractures Hip fractures are a common injury in the United States; approximately 280,000 occurred in 1998. The number of annual hip fractures has been projected to surpass 500,000 annually by the year 2040. The fracture of a hip can lead to morbidity, a change in living arrangements, or death. One-year mortality rates of 12% to 36% have been reported.

Hip Fracture A hip fracture is a partial or complete break of the femur (thigh bone), where it meets your pelvic bone. It’s a serious injury that requires immediate medical attention. Fractured hips in younger people usually occur during car accidents, long falls or other severe traumas.

About the hip A broken hip is defined as a fracture in the upper portion of your thigh bone (femur). Your hip is a joint, which is a point where two or more bones come together. The top of your femur and part of your pelvic bone meet to form your hip.

Femur Fracture The femur is the longest bone in the body. In its most proximal end is the femoral head, which connects to the pelvic bones. At the most distal end, the femoral condyles form the knee joint along with the tibia and fibula in the lower leg. The range of types of femur fractures is wide. There can be nondisplaced femur fractures caused by stress on the one hand. On the other are severely comminuted fractures with a large amount of soft-tissue injury. These are caused by high energy impact injuries such as are seen in motor vehicle accidents.

Anatomy A hip fracture is a break in the upper quarter of the femur (thigh) bone. The extent of the break depends on the forces that are involved. The type of surgery used to treat a hip fracture is primarily based on the bones and soft tissues affected or on the level of the fracture.

Elderly Hip Fracture The femoral neck is right below the ball (or head) of the ball-and-socket hip joint. Because this type of fracture diminishes and can sometimes stop the flow of blood to the broken part of the bone, surgery is almost always done to correct it.

- A femoral neck fracture occurs when the ball is broken off the top of the femur. Treatment may consist of repair or replacement. A femoral neck fracture occurs when the ball is broken off the top of the femur.

- 1,2 Inyounger patients, proximal femoral fractures are usuallythe result of high-energy physical trauma (eg, high-speed motor vehicle accidents) and usually occur in theabsence of disease. Intertrochanteric and femoral neckfractures account for 90% of the proximal femoral frac-tures occurring in elderly patients.
