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
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
Results from previous quasi-static mechanical tests indicate that femurs from elderly subjects fail in vitro at forces 50% below those available in a fall from standing height. However, bone is a rate-dependent material, and it is not known whether this imbalance is present at rates of loading which
A prospective survey of hip fracture incidence and outcome was conducted to evaluate their socioeconomic impact. Over the course of 1 year, 404 hip fractures were recorded in 339 women and 65 men following minor or moderate trauma. The subjects' ages were 82.8 Β± 10.0 years (mean Β± SD): 84.1 Β± 9.2 in
## Abstract This study was designed to test whether, using curved beam theory, a structural model of the proximal femur derived from twoβdimensional dual energy xβray absorptiometry could be used to predict femoral strength in an experimental simulation of a fall on the greater trochanter. A set of
