Atypical periprosthetic femoral fracture associated with long-term bisphosphonate therapy.

Background: Atypical femoral fracture is one of the many complications after the long-term use of bisphosphonates. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research has officially excluded periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) from the definition of atypical femoral fractures (AFFs). Several case reports found that PFFs can occur with characteristics similar to those of AFFs.

[The prognostic value of the hip screw position in intertrochanteric fractures].

Introduction: In our study, we analyzed one of the Hungarian population's most frequent injuries, the hip fracture, focusing mainly on the lateral femoral neck and the pertrochanteric fractures. According to the classification of the Swiss Association for Ostheosynthesis (AO), we focused on 31-A1 and 31-A2 fractures, the incidence of which increases by ageing.

Method: Between 2010 and 2016, we analyzed the data of 1179 patients.

[Drainage data analysis of chest-injured patients].

Introduction: Chest injuries cause a significant number of pneumothorax (PTX) and hemothorax (HTX). The most commonly used treatment is chest-tube drainage. The position of the tube is a prime necessity to achieve adequate drainage.
