Filter by:The AO@AI Turin project is a collaborative project with a Turin group and the AO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen, or in English, Association for the Study of Internal Fixation) foundation. An Image database (DB) has been built to host AP pelvic radiographs ready for artificial intelligence (AI) development. The goal of this project is to determine the agreement between the Turin annotation of fracture status and the annotation from an external group of AO expert surgeons for a random subset of the Turin images.
Proximal femoral fracture is associated with severe morbidity and mortality and high socioeconomic costs. The main mechanical complication of internal fixation in trochanteric fracture is lag-screw cut-out through the femoral head. Several factors are involved, but remain controversial. The aim of the present study was to determine risk factors for cut-out in internal fixation of extracapsular proximal femoral fracture.
Proximal femoral fractures are a typical pathology in elderly patients after a low-energy trauma. This study analyses preexisting risk factors for proximal femoral fractures as well as for failing to reach the previous functional level, difference in outcome between patients with femoral neck fracture compared to those with pertrochanteric fracture, surgical performance and its significance for the functional outcome, as well as the impact of proximal femoral fractures on patients' one-year independence.
This study is designed to compare the outcome of patients with proximal femoral fractures with different perioperative regimes: a group with a multimodal intervention and a control group.
The hip semiendoprosthesis is an acceptable method to treat the proximal femoral fractures. Traditionally, the cemented version of the semiendoprosthesis has been used for this indication. However, the cementing carries a risk of fat embolism during the pressurization of the cement. The fat embolism can be avoided when using the non-cemented semiendoprosthesis. In this study we want to find out whether there are any differences in the treatment results between the cemented and non-cemented semiendoprostheses when treating the proximal femoral fractures.
