Purpose: Relative femoral neck lengthening (RNL) is a newer technique to correct coxa breva and coxa vara to relieve a femoro-acetabular impingement and improve hip abductor function without changing the position of the head on the shaft. Proximal femoral osteotomy (PFO) changes the position of the femoral head relative to the shaft. We studied the short-term complications of procedures that combined RNL with PFO.

Objective: The ipsilateral acetabulum and femur fracture (IAFF) is an uncommon entity. This combination challenges the surgeon in the optimal management of each injury component, fixation sequence, surgical approaches, implant choices and complications. Inappropriate approach for one fracture may affect the fixation of another or modify the overall outcome.

Depressed lateral tibial plateau fractures with a large central or posterior fragment can be seen in isolation or association with complex proximal tibia fractures. Conventionally elevation of the large depressed fragment is done by bone tamp through a medial metaphyseal window in isolated fractures, or the fractured window in associated complex fracture scenarios. Though various instruments have been devised for this purpose, reaching the posterior aspect of lateral condyle through the medial metaphyseal window is not always easy, considering the difficulty in aiming and trajectory.

Trochanteric lateral wall fracture (LWF) indicates instability and is found to be an important predictor of reoperations following trochanteric fracture fixation. A single unified technique for lateral wall reconstruction may not adequately stabilize all the fracture patterns. We have presented morphology specific lateral wall reconstruction techniques using cerclage wire around proximal femoral nails.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the outcomes of complex posterior wall acetabular fractures treated with cancellous allograft and internal fixation in 16 patients.
  • Results showed that 75% of patients had anatomical reduction, with 56.25% achieving excellent radiological outcomes and no cases of secondary loss of reduction.
  • The conclusion is that using cancellous allograft provides stability and effective treatment for these fractures without complications associated with synthetic grafts.

Femoral neck nonunions in young adults is among the most challenging problems to treat. This is due to their inherent problems, such as neck resorption, increase in fracture gap, sclerosis of fracture margins, and avascular necrosis. Hip salvage in these cases, although challenging, is recommended in the Asian subcontinent where social and religious activities require squatting and sitting cross-legged.
