## Abstract We aimed to discuss the risk assessments of patients with hip fractures due to the fallβrelated moderate or minimal trauma and compare them with nonβfractured control patients by bone mineral density (BMD) and proximal femur geometric measurements to assess whether geometric measurement

The aim of this study was to investigate the predisposing factors, fracture location, treatment, and final outcome of femoral fractures after total hip arthroplasty (THA). From 1975 to 1983, 28 patients were seen with 29 fractures on the same side as the prosthesis. Most of the fractures were caused
An 8 year old child was involved in a road accident and sustained a large wound in the left groin; radiographs showed a fracture with loss of the proximal femur. After skeletal traction for 80 days, there was bony regeneration of the proximal femur. At 8 months she was able to walk without support a
Aluminum ranks as a potentially hazardous agent. Pathologic findings in different organs show that it can accumulate in brain, muscle, liver and bone. Therefore, we investigated whether patients with cementless total hip endoprostheses made out of titanium alloys containing aluminum are at risk. In
In cases of congenital varus deformity of the proximal femur, the screening of hip dysplasia can lead to misinterpretations. The false-positive ultrasound result is caused by the superiorly displaced greater trochanter in hips with coxa vara, which narrows the scan window. In this paper three typica
