Bilateral Femoral Fractures

Introduction: Traumatic surgeons have consistently thought that bilateral femoral fractures are more severe, usually resulting in increased morbidity and mortality due to high energy effects. The term "injury control plastic surgery" (DCO) was made for individualized treatment concepts of multiple trauma patients with bone injury. Postpatient support delay for temporary external fixation and secondary internal osseointegration reduces the "recurrence" of patients with severe multiple injuries and minimizes morbidity and mortality can do.

When a patient suffers a femoral neck fracture, the ball (femoral head) fractures and is detached from the rest of the femur. Since the blood flow controlled by the femoral head usually decreases, these injuries are particularly problematic for the patient. On the other hand, a trochanter trochanter refers to a fracture occurring beneath the femoral neck. Since these fractures usually do not affect blood flow, they are usually easy to control. In women, this process accelerates during menopause because women have less estrogen and help maintain bone strength. According to Dr. Richard Ackerman, an 80-year-old woman is at risk of hip fractures of 1 to 2% every year. Given that most bone loss occurs in the spinal cord where the hip fracture occurs and the upper part of the femur, you can understand that the risk of fracture is high every year.

Hip fracture is divided into two parts, inside the capsule and outside the capsule. Intracapsular hip fracture is a fracture that occurs in the femoral head and femoral neck. Femoral head fractures are usually caused by high energy trauma and hip dislocation. On the other hand, a femoral neck fracture represents a state of fracture adjacent to the femoral head at the femoral neck between the head and the greater trochanter. Extra-capsular hip fracture is a hip fracture involving the femoral trochanter. It is a hip fracture between the femoral trochanter and the femoral hip fracture. Cross-trochanter fracture, to some extent, shows a linear break between the large rotor and the small rotor between the femoral trochanter lines. Otherwise, the femoral trochanter fracture defines a fracture involving the axis of the femur. In addition, most hip fractures occur at the femoral neck, which is about 1 - 2 inches below the hip joint.
