大腿骨転子部における骨折パターンの解析

抄録

Elderly people are more likely to have the proximal femur fractures because of osteoporosis and so on, even with a slight external force due to a fall. Intertrochanteric fractures, which is one of the proximal femur fractures, have a wide variety of fracture patterns. A suitable treatment is required for each fracture pattern. To investigate the relationship between fall situation and fracture pattern leads to understand these fracture conditions and is important for early recovery. The aim of this study was to investigate the repeatability of the intertrochanteric fracture pattern using dynamic FE analyses in consideration of failure of bone element. As a result of the analysis, the fracture pattern of the intertrochanteric area of the femur similar to that of Type I, 3-part A of the 3DCT classification was obtained.
