Femur fractures represent approximately 1.7% of all pediatric bony injuries. Most femur fractures were treated nonoperatively prior to the early 1980s. Recent refinements in the operative techniques used to treat pediatric femur fracture have led to a reduction in the use of traction and casting treatment methods.

Bone strength is a major contributor to fracture risk. Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) obtained from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used as a surrogate for bone strength in fracture risk prediction. 3D finite element (FE) models predict bone strength better than aBMD but need 3D computed tomography and are not automated.

Case: A 60-year-old woman presented 18 years following a conservatively managed right tibial proximal metaphyseal fracture, with knee osteoarthritis and an extra-articular tibial varus deformity. During total knee arthroplasty, excessive lateral laxity was noted in both extension and flexion. Lateral femoral epicondylar osteotomy (LFEO) was performed; the bone block was duly transported and secured.

Background: Populations in Africa are ageing, hence the number of age-related fragility fractures, including hip fractures, is rising. Hip fractures are an indicator condition for older adult health provision, as they require a multifaceted pathway of care. To enable health service planning, detailed national-level understanding of current fracture service provision is needed.
