2. Dynamic fixation of unstable trochanteric hip fractures. A clinical and radiographic evaluation of the Medoff sliding plate
Sammanfattning : In stabilising extracapsular hip fractures, the Medoff sliding plate (MSP) differs from other screw-plates by its compression capacity along the femoral shaft (uniaxial dynamization). Additional compression along the neck of femur can be achieved by primary release of the lag screw (biaxial dynamization). LÄS MER
3. Treatment of unstable trochanteric hip fractures : A clinical, mechanical and radiographic evaluation of the RAB-plate
Sammanfattning : The problems associated with the management of proximal femoral fractures gain more attention as the elderly population continue to increase. It has been estimated that the total number of hip fractures in the world will increase from 1.7 million per year in 1990 to 6.3 million per year in 2050 (Cooper et al 1992). LÄS MER
4. Outcome in patients with trochanteric and subtrochanteric femoral fractures : aspects on surgical methods, quality of life and cognitive function
Sammanfattning : A hip fracture is a significant cause of increased morbidity and mortality in elderly people and Scandinavia presents the highest incidence of hip fractures worldwide. The hip fracture is a serious consequence of osteoporosis which demands acute surgery with a high risk of complications and a threat to a continued independent living. LÄS MER
5. Complications in trochanteric and subtrochanteric femoral fractures
Sammanfattning : The hip fracture is a major public health problem. The majority of hip fracture patients are elderly with comorbidities and there is a strong association with osteoporosis, especially for the extracapsular (trochanteric and subtrochanteric) types of fractures. LÄS MER
