More detailed X ray images revealed reduced bone mass in the head and neck regions of the injured femur‚ in the ends of other long bones of the body and in the vertebrae. Surgery was necessary to repair the fractured femur and a biopsy of the bone tissue indicated that the composition of the osteoid was normal. Healing of the fractured femur is proceeding slowly. 1.

occurring within the capsule of the hip joint between the head of the femur and the pelvic acetubum‚ making it intracapsular. Secondly‚ those occurring outside the hip joint capsule making it extracapsular. Walsh and Crumbie (2007a) also state that fractures of the femur neck are generally divided into two categories‚ intracapsular or extracapusular. Intracapsular fractures occur through the capsule at the base of the femur head. Extracapsular fractures pass through either of the trochanters

A hemiarthroplasty is the surgical removal of the femoral head and neck and replacement with a metal component (Gulanick and Myers.‚ 1998). This adheres to the Blue Book standard number 2 which states that patients should have surgery in the first 48 hours of admission providing they are medically fit (Ahern et al.‚ 2016)

The injury scenario I have chosen to do is: * A female athlete with a fracture to the femur. 1. Classification and management of the injury. There are five ways to classify sports injuries. These include direct and indirect injuries‚ soft and hard tissue injuries and overuse injuries. A direct injury is caused by an external blow or force. In the case of a female athlete fracturing her femur‚ a direct injury could be the cause‚ but isn’t the most likely one. For example‚ if the female

no signs of trauma to the head‚ neck‚ torso‚ arms or left leg. The right thigh and hip were extremely tender and were immobilized by a leg splint. Heart and lung sounds were normal and abdominal sounds were reduced. Radiology report: The X-ray of the right hip revealed a complete‚ comminuted‚ intertrochanteric (top part of the femur) fracture of the right hip. No other fractures were noted in the right leg. There were also long-term osteoporotic changes in the femur‚ tibia and fibula. Questions 1

She was administered IV preoperative antibiotics. A straight lateral approach to the proximal femur was made. Dissection was carried through the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Hemostasis was obtained with electrocautery. The fascia lata was divided in line with the skin incision. The fascia over the vastus lateralis was divided in line with the skin
