Objective: To explore the clinical effect of bone cement-enhanced Asian proximal femoral anti-rotation intramedullary nail (APFN) internal fixation in the treatment of elderly osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures of the femur and provide it as a more robust treatment to elderly patients with osteoporotic intertrochanteric femoral fractures.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2017 and January 2019, 42 patients with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in our hospital were selected. All patients were randomly divided into the proximal femoral anti-rotation intramedullary nail (PFNA) group and APFN group. The PFNA group received conventional PFNA internal fixation, and the APFN group received bone cement-enhanced APFN internal fixation. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, average fracture healing time, weight bearing time, and hip function recovery of the two groups of patients were evaluated.

Results: All patients were followed up. There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups. Compared with the PFNA group, the weight-bearing time and hospital stay of the APFN group were significantly shorter. According to the Harris score of hip joint function, the excellent and good rate of the APFN group was better than that of the PFNA group.

Conclusions: Compared with conventional PFNA internal fixation, cement-enhanced APFN internal fixation has the advantage of early functional reconstruction in the treatment of osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fractures. It can significantly shorten the time required for patients to get out of bed and bear weight. It is an effective method for the treatment of osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

Morphological analysis of peripheral nerves in mouse models can be used to characterize the pathophysiology of peripheral nerve disease, but obtaining high-quality electron micrographs can be challenging. Here, we present a protocol to obtain electron micrographs of mouse peripheral nerves. We detail the procedures of sampling, fixation, and embedding of peripheral nerves. Read More

Although fractures of the proximal humerus are common among older adults, open fractures following low-energy trauma are exceptionally rare. Prior studies have alluded to the existence of this injury, but there are no detailed reports on its presentation, management, or long-term follow-up. We present the case of a 78-year-old man that sustained a suspiciously open proximal humerus fracture of the dominant hand following a fall down a few stairs. Read More

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, UK.

Proximal humeral fractures are common with a bimodal distribution and sex discrepancy, affecting younger men and older women. The presentation of a proximal humeral fracture can vary greatly because of this bimodal distribution and the associated differences in mechanism of injury. Initial management should involve assessment of life- and limb-threatening injuries as outlined by the British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma, with particular attention paid to axillary nerve function and vascular status.
