Osteosynthesis and fibular grafting for freshly displaced femoral neck fractures with posterior comminution is an inexpensive and technically less demanding procedure for retaining a stable, painless, mobile, and functional hip.
Provided it is applied with proper understanding of biomechanics, LCP is one of the best available options for management of challenging peri- and intra-articular fractures.
Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of bone (PLB) is a rare entity. Patients generally present with localized bone pain and, less frequently, soft-tissue swelling or a palpable mass. Pathological fracture of the proximal femur and proximal humerus secondary to soft-tissue tumours is well documented in the literature; however, lymphomas presenting primarily at these sites with pathological fracture is unusual. A review of the world literature shows that the incidence of skeletal manifestation from NHL is less than 5%, and in all these cases, bony involvement was reported many years after presentation of the primary cancer. Histopathologically, PLB usually represents diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. We report our experience with two cases of Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of proximal femur and proximal humerus with pathological fracture and their management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
