Lakstein D, Eliaz N, Levi O, et al. Fracture of cementless femoral stems at the mid-stem junction in modular revision hip arthroplasty systems. J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2011;93:57-65.

Background. A meta-analysis was performed to assess the association between healing rate, avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head and two reductions-open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and ...

In 1992, Goodman and colleagues found that there were no statistical differences between the 2 devices for compressive or torsional loading in a model of an unstable femoral neck fracture.

Femoral-neck fractures may be nondisplaced (i.e., very little separation at the fracture site, occurring in approximately one third of femoral-neck fractures) or displaced (i.e., greater separation).

Kevin K. Kang, MD, from Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York City, and colleagues randomly assigned 50 patients with an isolated intracapsular femoral neck fracture and treated with hip ...
