Arguably many more hip fractures could be described as pathological due to underlying osteoporosis, but this group is rarely labeled in this way.
22 maj 2023 · Pathologic fractures occur through areas of weakened bone attributed to either primary malignant lesions, benign lesions, metastasis, or underlying metabolic abnormalities, with the common factor being altered skeletal biomechanics secondary to pathologic bone.
Pathologic fractures about the hip are an uncommon, but increasingly prevalent, clinical scenario encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. These fractures about the hip usually necessitate operative management.
1 kwi 2024 · This topic will review the major types of hip fractures, including basic anatomy, fracture classification, and clinical and radiographic assessment. The details of surgical treatment are beyond the scope of this review.
Understanding the pathoanatomy of hip fractures and the biomechanics of surgical fixation constructs is critical for successful treatment. In this article, we review the relevant anatomy and classification of femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures.
3 maj 2018 · To summarize relevant anatomy, imaging, and treatment of hip fractures, and to synthesize a treatment-based approach for description and classification of hip fractures.
1 kwi 2020 · Pathological fractures of the hip, occurring in bone weakened by a disease process, represent a significant proportion of acute orthopaedic trauma presentations. Factors that contribute to the formation of a pathological lesion in bone depend on the underlying disease process.
