Eight two patients underwent 86 Kiintscher Y nailing for impending and pathologicalfractures of the proximal femur. All but five mobilised post-operatively, thus improving their quality of life. Eighteen patients died in hospital. Prophylactic nailing improved survival Fifteen out of 86 nailings wer
The fracture toughness of the right femoral neck, femoral shaft, and tibial shaft of matched cadaveric bones, ages 50 to 90 years, was compared. Results of this study indicate that tensile (G Ic ) and shear (G IIc ) fracture toughness vary depending on bone location. The femoral neck has the greates
The authors report on a family whose female members suffered from repeated pathological fractures of the femur The pedigree showed the characteristics of a dominant inheritance The occurrence of the pathologic fracture exclusively in females can be only considered as a casual event The radiographic
