Bilateral femoral neck fractures due to transient osteoporosis of pregnancy: a case report
We describe a case of bilateral femoral neck fractures secondary to transient osteoporosis of pregnancy, which were diagnosed after delivery due to the desire to avoid ionising radiation. These fractures were presumed to be secondary to transient osteoporosis of pregnancy and were treated successfully with internal fixation despite delayed presentation. We discuss the role of MRI in the evaluation of hip pain in pregnancy
Reproducing the Proximal Femur Anatomy: Modular Femoral Component
Stem modularity can be classified according to the coupling location: distal, mid-stem, and proximal [1]. Mid-stem and proximal modularity have been more frequently used. Either the junction is located proximal or distal (mid-stem) to the neck osteotomy (Fig. 8.1). Proximal modularity with modular necks was introduced in 1987 by Cremascoli Ortho (Milan, Italy), in order to provide independent combinations of version, offset, and length [1]
