The most common types of femoral shaft fractures include: Transverse fracture. In this type of fracture, the break is a straight horizontal line going across the femoral shaft. Oblique fracture. This type of fracture has an angled line across the shaft. Spiral fracture. The fracture line encircles the shaft like the stripes on a candy cane.
8 paź 2023 · Femoral shaft fractures are high energy injuries to the femur that are associated with life-threatening injuries (pulmonary, cerebral) and ipsilateral femoral neck fractures. Diagnosis is made radiographically with radiographs of the femur as well as the hip to rule out ipsilateral femoral neck fractures.
7 mar 2024 · Subtrochanteric fractures are proximal femur fractures located within 5 cm of the lesser trochanter that may occur in low energy (elderly) or high energy (young patients) mechanisms. Diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs of the hip in patients that present with inability to bear weight.
Broken femur types include: Transverse fracture: The break goes straight across your femur in a horizontal line. Spiral fracture: The break spirals around your femur. Oblique fracture: The break goes across your femur at an angle. Comminuted fracture: There are three or more broken pieces in your femur.
Introduction. Fractures of the femoral shaft are a most common injury, often associated with polytrauma and can be life-threatening. They often result from high-energy mechanisms such as motor vehicle collisions with sequelae of limb shortening and deformities if not treated correctly.
2 sty 2023 · Femoral shaft fractures are a common orthopedic injury occurring in high energy trauma or low energy trauma in the elderly. Femoral shaft fractures are frequently associated with other comorbidities necessitating a thorough trauma life support assessment and interdisciplinary care.
