A basicervical femoral fracture is a relatively uncommon type of proximal femoral fracture. However, as the proportion of proximal femoral fractures rises in conjunction with the aging of society, the absolute number of patients with basicervical femoral fractures is also increasing. Nevertheless, the optimal surgical methods for the treatment of basicervical femoral fractures remain a topic of debate.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign tumor condition in which normal bone is replaced by structurally deficient fibrous lamellar bone. It represents approximately 5-7% of benign bone tumors and occurs in two presentations: monostotic, which is the most common, and polyostotic. The proximal femur is one of the most common locations for benign tumors, including FD.

Introduction: A decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) accompanied by muscle weakness during aging significantly increases the probability of low-energy fracture occurrence, but it can also happen in those with a non-osteoporotic score (treatment gap). To improve the identification process of those at risk, the authors proposed using the interconnectivity between bone mineral density and muscle tissue.

Material And Methods: A total of 20,776 patient records were collected from the database in the period 2008-2021.

Subtrochanteric fractures in older patients are typically due to low-energy falls. The standard of care is intramedullary nailing. The Smith & Nephew Trigen Intertan (Memphis, TN, US) is an intramedullary nail with a novel design that incorporates two integrated compression screws.
