An intertrochanteric fracture is a type of broken hip. The hip is made up of two bones: the femur (thigh bone) and the pelvis (socket). The hip is a ball-in-socket joint that helps you move your leg when walking. If a hip breaks between the bumpy parts at the top of the thigh bone, it is called an intertrochanteric fracture.

2024年12月12日 · Intertrochanteric Fractures are common extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur at the level of the greater and lesser trochanter that are most commonly seen following ground-level falls in the elderly population. Diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs of the hip. MRI is most helpful to evaluate occult hip fractures.

2017年8月3日 · An intertrochanteric fracture is a specific type of hip fracture. “Intertrochanteric” means “between the trochanters,” which are bony protrusions on the femur (thighbone). They’re the...

Intertrochanteric (IT) femur fractures comprise approximately ½ of all hip fractures caused by a low-energy mechanism such as a fall from standing height. These fragility hip fractures occur in a characteristic population with risk factors including increasing age, female gender, osteoporosis, a history of falls, and gait abnormalities [ 3 ].

What if the intertrochanteric fracture is occult and nondisplaced? Methods: All nonoperatively treated femoral neck or intertrochanteric femur fractures (AO/OTA 31A and 31B) from 2003 to 2018 were identified. Patients >65 years with negative radiographs but a hip fracture evident on MRI were included.

2023年8月8日 · Intertrochanteric fractures are defined as extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur that occur between the greater and lesser trochanter. The intertrochanteric aspect of the femur is located between the greater and lesser trochanters and …

Intertrochanteric (IT) fractures in the elderly is a challenging surgery. The bones are osteoporotic with implants having less hold as well as the co morbidities associated in these elderly leads to almost one-third mortality by the end of one year, which is a major global economic burden.

Nail or plate fixation of intertrochanteric hip fractures: changing pattern of practice. A review of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery Database. J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2008;90(4):700-7. Barton TM, Gleeson R, Topliss C, Greenwood R, Harries WJ, Chesser TJ.

Intertrochanteric hip fractures are defined as fractures between the femoral neck and the lesser trochanter. The Evans classification of intertrochanteric fractures is based on the location and direction of the fracture as well as the stability.

Intertrochanteric (IT) femur fractures comprise approximately ½ of all hip fractures caused by a low-energy mechanism such as a fall from standing height. These fragility hip fractures occur in a characteristic population with risk factors including increasing age, female gender, osteoporosis, a history of falls, and gait abnormalities [ 3 ].
