Atypical Subtrochanteric and Diaphyseal Femoral Fractures: Second Report of a Task Force of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research

TLDR
This newer evidence suggests that AFFs are stress or insufficiency fractures, and studies with radiographic review consistently report significant associations between A FFs and BP use, although the strength and magnitude of effect vary.

Subtrochanteric insufficiency fractures in patients on alendronate therapy: a caution.

  • 1 March 2007
TLDR
It is suggested that prolonged suppression of bone remodelling with alendronate may be associated with a new form of insufficiency fracture of the femur, and the need for caution in the long-term use of alendronsate in the treatment of osteoporosis is indicated.

Femoral Cortical Stress Lesions in Long-Term Bisphosphonate Therapy: A Herald of Impending Fracture?

TLDR
Cognitive stress reactions associated with prolonged antiresorptive therapy, in the presence of pain and the “dreaded black line,” have an increased risk for complete stress fractures.

Post-operative outcomes of atypical femoral subtrochanteric fracture in patients on bisphosphonate therapy.

TLDR
A large proportion of the patients required revision surgery and suffered implant failure, and this fracture is associated with slow healing and prolonged post-operative immobility.

Incidence and radiological characteristics of fabellae in an Asian population.

TLDR
The incidence of fabellae in an Asian population was lower than that in regional studies and they were consistently bony and not all had articulating grooves on the lateral femoral condyle, it was found that the larger the fabella, the higher the chances of it having an articulating groove.

Fasciotomy and Surgical Tenotomy for Recalcitrant Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy

TLDR
Ulasonic microresection of diseased tissue with the TX1 device provides a focally directed, safe, specific, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated treatment for recalcitrant lateral elbow tendinopathy in an office-based or ambulatory surgical setting with good evidence of some level of efficacy in 19 of 20 patients (95%) that is sustained for at least 1 year.

One-year outcome of hip fracture patients admitted to a Singapore hospital: quality of life post-treatment.

TLDR
Hip fractures can be treated surgically with good results and low early complication rates, without drastically affecting patients' quality of life.

Distribution of atypical fractures and cortical stress lesions in the femur: implications on pathophysiology.

TLDR
Based on previously established femoral shaft loading characteristics, atypical lesions were clustered at the region of maximal tensile loading and no lesion occurred in regions that were subject to compressive loading.

Automatic Extraction of Femur Contours from Hip X-Ray Images

TLDR
Experiments show that this model-based approach for automatically extracting femur contours from hip x-ray images can extract the contours of femurs with regular shapes, despite variations in size, shape and orientation.
