The transverse acetabular fracture occurs due to lateral compression of the greater trochanter along the axis of the femoral neck to the acetabulum.

Femur is the strongest, heaviest & longest bone in a human body, protected by muscles. It connects muscle groups, ligaments, tendons and helps in carrying your body weight.

In literature there is no comparative study available between PFNA2 and condylar blade plate hence we tried to compare two systems of fixation for unstable trochanteric fracture and reverse ...

The fracture characteristics of this group were as follows: the greater trochanter fragment at the posterolateral side and the fracture fragment at the medial wall (Figures 5C, 6C).

Hip Fractures have devastating effects on function and quality of life. Trochanteric hip fractures are extracapsular, with the fracture line between the greater and lesser trochanters. These fractures ...

The greater trochanter refers to the top of the thigh bone and is the widest part of the hip. The snapping can happen when the muscle flexes, extends, and externally or internally rotates.

The four-by-four sophisticated classification system delineates fracture characteristics in more detail. It is applicable in the time of rapid outbreak of trochanteric fractures in the older ...

The iliotibial band overlies the greater trochanter and can also be a source of irritation and inflammation. Palpate the anterior superior iliac spine and the anterior inferior iliac spine.

A novel machine learning method designed helps identify and classify hip fractures. The machine learning process has shown to outperform human clinicians.
