Objective: To compare the efficacy of platelet rich plasma (PRP) against corticosteroid on the treatment of trochanteric pain syndrome
Methods: From July 2011 to November 2012, eighteen patients (20 hips) with trochanter pain syndrome were randomized in two groups and treated with platelet rich plasma or triamcinolone infiltration guided by ultrasound. Pain and function were evaluated prior to the intervention and after 10, 30 and 60 days, through the Facial Expressions Scale for Pain and the Western Ontario McMaster and Harris Hip Score questionnaires. Inter-group analysis was performed by Student t-test and intragroup analysis by ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. Statistical significance was set at p <0.05
Results: There was no difference between the groups. The triamcinolone group showed pain reduction (p=0.004) and improved function (p=0.036) through the Harris Hip Score questionnaire at 10, 30 and 60 days after treatment, when compared with the pre- intervention period. The platelet rich plasma group showed no statistical improvement in any of the variables
Conclusion: Up to 60 days, PRP infiltration has no influence on pain relief and function improvement in trochanteric syndrome treatment.

Stress Analysis in Conversion Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Finite Element Analysis on Stem Length and Distal Screw Hole.
J Clin Med
December 2024

Proximal femoral fractures are particularly common in older adults, and cases requiring conversion to total hip arthroplasty may arise because of treatment failure or osteoarthritis. Fractures around the distal screw removal holes can be problematic. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stem length and femoral stress distribution to determine the optimal stem length.

Purpose: The use of intramedullary fixation of AO type 31-A1 fractures is rising, despite evidence of non-superiority when compared with extramedullary fixation. The aim of this study was to evaluate mobility and living status for extramedullary fixation (EMF) versus intramedullary fixation (IMF) in Dutch hospitals during the initial hospital stay and until three-months after trauma.
Methods: Data on patient characteristics, mobility, living status, complications, reoperation, and mortality were extracted from the Dutch Hip Fracture Audit Indicator Taskforce.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition characterised by lateral hip pain and reduced function. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have gained attention as a potential treatment due to their regenerative properties. However, variability in PRP preparation methods and insufficient standardisation in the literature complicate the evaluation of its efficacy and reproducibility.

Fractures of the trochanteric mass represent a significant proportion of hip fractures. These fractures often occur in the elderly due to compromised bone quality, leading to a high predisposition for instability at the fracture site. The study was conducted through a retrospective analysis of 1,259 hospitalizations in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital between 2022 and 2023, including patients with various types of trochanteric mass fractures: basicervical, per trochanteric, intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, and trochanter-diaphyseal fractures.

We report the treatment of femoral neck nonunion in an adult female who has remarkable femoral neck anatomy. The initial fracture was treated by closed reduction and multiple screws incorporated pin fixation. Eventually, nonunion with implant loosening developed after about 10 following months.
