Abstract:
Fracture of the femur head is most ofen caused by car accidents and a falls from a height. Treatment of these fractures is hard and is burden risk of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head and arthritis of the hip joint. In the paper are presented four cases of femur head fracture. Two of them were treated by surgical procedure, one using conservative therapy and one using total hip replacement for reason arthritis of the hip joint.

01:16Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
