In Denmark, 11,000 patients with proximal femoral fractures are admitted to hospital each year, using 2.2% of the national hospitalisation capacity. The patients are generally old and have a high degree of co-morbidities. In Denmark, the 30-day mortality rate is 10%, and on an international level, reoperation rates of 10-20% are reported. This article reports on current treatment stategies, classifications and surgical techniques and presents possible guidelines. The use of specialized centres and accelerated clinical programmes in Denmark is recommended.

The Effects of Inaccurate Femoral Tunnel Placement During Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction on Midterm Clinical Outcomes in Treatment of Recurrent Patellar Dislocation.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital; Institute of Sports Medicine of Peking University; Beijing Key Laboratory of Sports Injuries, Beijing, China.
Background: There is a lack of evidence and continuous debate on whether femoral tunnel displacement substantially influences the clinical efficacy of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) in addressing recurrent patellar dislocation.
Purpose: To investigate possible associations between inaccurate femoral tunnel placement during MPFL-R and clinical outcomes, with a specific focus on proximal tunnel malpositioning.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
Patellar Instability After Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Patellar instability following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare, yet serious complication, potentially requiring revision surgery or resulting in chronic dysfunction. When encountered, it is paramount to understand the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, treatment options, and outcomes of the selected treatment. The most common cause of patella instability is improper positioning of components, leading to lateral maltracking of the patella.

Objectives: To evaluate survival after osteoporotic fractures of the upper femur and determine its associated factors.
Methods: Cross-sectional study of patients hospitalized for fractures of the upper end of the femur during 2020 at Monastir University Hospital. Outcome was determined up to 2 years.
Osteotomies around the knee have a variety of indications, including pain reduction, functional improvement, knee joint stabilization, and articular cartilage preservation. Thorough preoperative planning is essential, including a determination of the precise location of any deformity (proximal tibia, distal femur, or both). High tibial osteotomies and distal femoral osteotomies can be performed in isolation, or jointly in the form of a double-level osteotomy, for correction of coronal and/or sagittal deformity of the knee.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Cantonal Hospital Sankt Gallen, Sankt Gallen 9007, Switzerland.
Background: When patients with a failed hip arthroplasty are unsuitable for reimplantation, Girdlestone resection arthroplasty (GRA) is a viable treatment option. We report on a patient who was treated with a GRA due to a periprosthetic infection. We discovered partial paralysis of the quadriceps muscle in this patient.
