The purpose of this paper is to discuss the risk
factors, prevention strategies, classification, and treatment of
intra-operative femur fractures sustained during primary and revision
total hip arthroplasty.
Dislocation is the most frequent serious complication following total hip replacement for subcapital femoral fracture. We report a prospective study, using matched groups, which compared the range of hip movement following hip replacement for arthritis and for

The imaging techniques available to aid the diagnosis of ruptures of tendo Achillis, the rotator cuff and the tendon of tibialis posterior in rheumatoid patients are well described. However, ruptures of tendon or muscle at other sites are uncommon and may be overlooked. Diagnosis is often made by localised tenderness, swelling and a lack of active movement associated with a palpable defect. Clinical examination may be inconclusive and can be aided by imaging studies. We report two cases in which ruptures of a tendon were suspected, and ultrasound imaging demonstrated the palpable defect to be a cleavage plane in the subcutaneous fat – a ‘fat

A simple method of radiological assessment has been used to measure the angle between the long axis of the humeral shaft and the growth plate of the capitellum (the Baumann angle). In the normal arm a significant relationship was found between the Baumann angle and the carrying angle. The Baumann angle was also measured after reduction of supracondylar
