INTRODUCCION Las fracturas de fémur distal (FFD) son un problema importante de salud pública. Con el envejecimiento de la población, se espera un incremento de esta lesión en los próximos años. Objetivo Describir las complicaciones y la mortalidad de las FFD en un grupo de pacientes geriátricos. M...
Introduction: Due to the aging of the population, nursing processes have been adapted to these patients, who require a high level of care and guidance. Objective: Analyzing the degree of dependence on nursing care by elderly patients (65 years or older) with femur fractures. Materials and Methods: retros...
ABSTRACT Objectives: To describe the historical series of admissions to the Intensive Care Unit of older adults with femoral fractures, and verify the association between age and injury characteristics and treatment, nursing workload, severity, and clinical evolution in the unit. Method: Retrospective ...
Purpose: To develop and assess three-dimensional models of physeal fractures in dog femurs (3D MPFDF) using radiographic imaging. Methods: The study was conducted in three phases: development of 3D MPFDF; radiographic examination of the 3D MPFDF; and comparative analysis of the anatomical and radiograph...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the stability of osteotomies created in the subtrochanteric and trochanteric regions in a pediatric femur model fixed by flexible intramedullary rods. Methods Tomographic sections were obtained from a pediatric femur model with two elastic titanium rods and converted to a...
Abstract Atypical fractures are well elucidated when they occur in the femur and are related to the use of bisphosphonates. Prolonged therapy with this drug leads to excessive suppression of bone remodeling, which makes the bone more brittle. In general, they are caused by minimal trauma or are atraumati...
Introducción: Las fracturas complejas de fémur distal AO/AOT tipo 33C3.3 constituyen un reto para los ortopedistas debido a la dificultad de su tratamiento y las complicaciones asociadas. El planeamiento y procedimiento quirúrgicos emplean placas condilares, pero estas se asocian a la pérdida de la f...
Abstract Objective We aim to describe an experimental model for studying femoral fractures in rats after exposure to ionizing radiation, demonstrating a way to apply a substance for analysis, the method for patterning fracture and irradiation, and how to evaluate its effectiveness based on radiographic ...
Objetivos: compreender a experiência do idoso no restabelecimento da marcha após cirurgia de fratura de fêmur por queda e elaborar modelo teórico que a represente. Método: pesquisa qualitativa na abordagem da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados, com saturação teórica, mediante a análi...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the factors associated with readmission within 30 days after discharge (R30) and in-hospital mortality (IHM) in elderly patients undergoing proximal femur fracture surgery (PFF). Methods Retrospective cohort with data from 896 medical records of elderly (≥ 60 years)...
