Introduction: Fracture of the femoral neck in a young adult with an ipsilateral transfemoral amputation is uncommon, and there is no consensus regarding the best treatment.
Methods: We present a unique case of a displaced right femoral neck fracture treated with closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation in a twenty-eight-year-old woman with a preexisting ipsilateral transfemoral amputation.
Results: We observed satisfactory healing of the fracture with a slight varus deformity and no radiographic signs of osteonecrosis at one year.
Conclusion: In a young adult with a preexisting transfemoral amputation and an acute femoral neck fracture, reduction and fixation of the fracture may be a reasonable treatment option.

Hip-Spine Relationship in Femoroacetabular Impingement: Does Hip Arthroscopy Affect Pelvic Mobility?
Clin Orthop Relat Res
December 2024
Naval Medical Center San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a well-recognized cause of hip pain in adults. The hip-spine relationship between the femur, pelvis, and lumbosacral spine has garnered recent attention in hip arthroplasty. However, the hip-spine relationship has not been well described in patients with FAI.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Addressing femoral neck fractures resulting from ground-level falls in older adults with Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves a personalized treatment plan, leading to a substantial economic burden on the healthcare system. The debate surrounding the advantages and disadvantages of surgical interventions versus non-operative approaches for femoral neck fractures in older individuals with AD remains a topic of active discussion.
Method: In this retrospective cohort study, the total medical expenses associated with operative and non-operative therapies were compared while adjusting for patients' demographics and baseline health conditions.

Radiology resident competency in orthopedic trauma detection in simulated on-call scenarios.

January 2025
University of Florida, Gainesville, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate radiology residents' ability to accurately identify three specific types of orthopedic trauma using radiographic imaging within a simulated on-call environment.
Methods: We utilized the Wisdom in Diagnostic Imaging Emergent/Critical Care Radiology Simulation (WIDI SIM) to assess residents' preparedness for independent radiology call. The simulation included 65 cases, with three focusing on orthopedic trauma: sacral ala, femoral neck, and pediatric tibial/Toddler's fractures.
Effects of exercise on bone mass and bone metabolism in adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Front Physiol
December 2024
School of Sport and Health, Shandong Sport University, Jinan, Shandong, China.
Objective: Meta-analysis was used to evaluate the effects of an exercise intervention on bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and bone metabolism in adolescents.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for RCTs on "exercise, adolescents, BMD, bone metabolism" up to 10 September 2024. Included RCTs focused on effects of exercise on BMC, BMD, and bone metabolism in 10-19 years old, with physical activity as exercise group and daily living/primal exercise as control group.
