This study is to evaluate the results of Trochanteric Buttress Plate (TBP) combined with PFN in an unstable IT fractures for buttressing lateral wall and reinforcing fixation. Materials and Methods: We carried out a consecutive study of 32 patients of Unstable intertrochanteric fracture femur with lateral wall comminution. It was studied at Ashwini Sahakari Rugnalaya and Sanshodhan Kendra Solapur India and Government medical college Chandrapur India from April-2015 to December-2017 using innovative Trochanteric buttress plate along with PFN. Eighteen male and fourteen female in the age group of 55 to 80 years were included in the study. There were 26 cases of A3 and six cases of A2 were fixed by PFN combined with trochanteric buttress plate to augment the comminuted lateral wall. Results: The bone healing is observed in all the cases in the mean period of 12.6 weeks. Four patients developed complications, including lateral migration of neck screws (n = 2), superficial infection (n = 2). Patients were followed up for a mean of 10.6 months. At the end of follow-up the Salvati and Wilson hip function was 36 (out of 40) in 87.5% of patients [twenty eight patients]. The clinical, radiological and functional outcomes were found to be satisfactory. Conclusion: The stabilization of lateral trochanteric wall with trochanteric buttress plate restores anatomy, increases the stability of construct and prevents inherent complication of screw migration and cutout.展开更多

Clinical suspicion, plain radiographs, CT (Plain and 3 D) as well as MRI suggested a diagnosis of parosteal lipoma. Lipomas may be defined as benign lesions of mature adipose tissue without evidence of cellular atypia [1]. Lipomas are the most common soft tissue lesions and surprisingly are among the rarest bone neoplasias. The most frequent complaints are a tumoral convexity presenting as a visible or palpable mass or a mild-intensity, dull pain. The parosteal type is a rare tumor accounting for 0.3% of all lipomas [2] and is usually asymptomatic. It is seen commonly affecting adults aged over 40 [3]. The present article describes a rare case of parosteal lipoma located in the femur, with extensive hyperostosis visible on plain xray and confirmed by imaging studies (CT and MRI). Unlike the parosteal lipomas reported in adults over 40 yrs in this case it presented in a much younger age group.展开更多
