    Objective: To assess the adequacy to the Brazilian population of orthopedic implants used for treatment of proximal femoral fractures. Methods: The neck-shaft angle of the femur of 101 patients was measured in anteroposterior pelvis radiographs and these measurements were correlated to gender, age, height, weight and ethnicity. In addition, we compared the values of the neck-shaft angle with the angulation of the main implants available in the Brazilian market for the treatment of transtrochanteric fractures. Results: Of the 101 measurements, an average of 130.9 +/- 6.7 degrees was obtained, ranging from 112 degrees to 150 degrees. Correlating these measurements with epidemiological variables, only age was statistically significant. Conclusion: Most of the analyzed population presented anatomical characteristics that allow the proper use of these implants to treat transtrochanteric fractures, as indicated from the analysis of neck-shaft angles. Nonetheless, 4% of individuals did not fit this pattern and would have required alternative implants.

    Efeitos da propriocepção no processo de reabilitação das fraturas de quadril
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, 2008-01-01) Martimbianco, Ana Luiza Cabrera [UNIFESP]; Polachini, Luis Otávio [UNIFESP]; Chamlian, Therezinha Rosane [UNIFESP]; Masiero, Danilo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    This study was aimed at providing a review of the last ten years in literature addressing the effect of the physical therapeutic treatments carried out in hip fractures and the review of the description and influence of specific proprioceptive drills in rehabilitation processes. These fractures are very common, particularly among the aged population, causing various consequences to the individual, such as proprioceptive sensations changes, which can predispose patients to important joint instability. Therefore, the rehabilitation of these injuries is of great importance in order to restore hip function and to prevent recurrences. According to the literature review, studies describe physical therapeutic treatment protocols in cases of hip fractures, but most authors do not present a specific isolated proprioceptive training; they usually correlate muscular strength gain, balance and gait and functional training to an indirect improvement of joint proprioception. The shortage of theories addressing the subject is clear, and further studies are warranted for providing better clinically and statistically significant data concerning the subject in reference.
