Su - rest, try corrective rx at home
Trochanteric Fx Clinical Features
-extracapsular fx, ecchymosis, swelling, LE rests in ER and appears shorter at first
-most common in elderly osteoporotic females
-TWIST -> then FX -> then FALL
Trochanteric Fx Radiographic Features
-often severely comminuted
-abudant blood flow, so nearly all fx unite
Trochanteric Fx Rx
-ORIF most common, THA better for severe osteoporosis
-ok for pt to move in bed s/p ORIF, usually seated w/in few days
-WB defer until fx healed for more active pts
Femoral Neck Fx Clinical Features
-intracapsular, hemarthrosis = no observable swelling
-LE in ER and appears short
-most common in elderly osteoporotic females
-TWIST -> then FX -> then FALL
Femoral Neck Fx Radiographic Features
-distal fragment ER and shifted proximal=>neck appears short
-vertical fx line = poor prognosis
Femoral Neck Fx Rx
ORIF, hemiarthroplasty if severe osteoporosis
Femoral Neck Fx Complications
-long lever arm distal to fx site increases instability of fx
-possible DJD, avascular necrosis, and jt adhesions 2* to effusion
Trochanteric Fx Complications
-few 2* to extracapsular fx
-may develop non-union fx => coxa vara
Posterior Hip Fx-Dislocation Clinical Features
mechanism = excess FL, ADD, IR as in car accidents
