This paper represents a multidisciplinary approach to biomechanics (medicine engineering
and mathematics) in the field of collum femoris fractures, ie, of osteosyntheses with …

Background Recent pathoanatomic studies based on 3D CT reconstructions have
questioned validity of AO/OTA classification because it does not reflect the reality and …

Introduction Third-generation nails for the management of unstable trochanteric fractures
were evaluated with regard to outcomes. Patients and methods A prospective observational …

Introduction The aim of this open prospective cohort study was to determine if a prolonged
pre-operative hospital stay is a true predictor of higher morbidity or mortality in geriatric …

The validity of dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative
computed tomography (pQCT) measurements as predictors of pertrochanteric and femoral …

Purpose This paper reports on the development and validity of a new instrument, called the
discharge of hip fracture patients score (DHP), that predicts at admission the discharge …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate a sample of patients who sustained hip
fractures during the years 1997–2011 and identify risk factors for a subsequent contralateral …

Purpose Proximal femoral fractures are among the most commonly sustained fractures. The
current treatment of stable proximal femoral fractures located in trochanteric region primarily …

This article represents a multidisciplinary approach to biomechanics (engineering+
medicine) in the field of “collum femoris” fractures. One possible treatment method for …

RESULTS: In the group of treated patients, the men were outnumbered by women (70% vs.
30%). In women the fractures occurred at a significantly (p< 0.001) older age (82 years) …
