Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Book Classification
A general term covering bibliographical and bibliothecal classifications. It mostly refers to library CLASSIFICATION for arrangement of books and documents on the shelves. (Harrod's Librarians' Glossary, 7th ed, p85)
Ferns
Seedless nonflowering plants of the class Filicinae. They reproduce by spores that appear as dots on the underside of feathery fronds. In earlier classifications the Pteridophyta included the club mosses, horsetails, ferns, and various fossil groups. In more recent classifications, pteridophytes and spermatophytes (seed-bearing plants) are in the division, or phylum, Tracheophyta.
Femur Neck
The constricted portion of the thigh bone between the femur head and the trochanters.
Etodolac
A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent with potent analgesic and antiarthritic properties. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of OSTEOARTHRITIS; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS; ankylosing SPONDYLITIS; and in the alleviation of postoperative pain (PAIN, POSTOPERATIVE).
Periprosthetic Fractures
Fractures around joint replacement prosthetics or implants. They can occur intraoperatively or postoperatively.

Periprosthetic fractures of the femur after total knee arthroplasty.
Periprosthetic fracture following total knee arthroplasty is a potentially serious complication. This injury can involve the distal femur, proximal tibia or the patella. This review article analyzes t...
Periprosthetic Femur Fractures Treated With Modular Fluted, Tapered Stems.
BACKGROUND: Treatment of periprosthetic femur fractures is challenging, and high failure and complication rates have been reported in many series. The optimal techniques and implants for the managemen...
We describe a case of successful revision total hip arthroplasty for a Vancouver type B3 periprosthetic femoral fracture with extensive bone stock deficiency and osteoporotic diaphyseal bone. The femu...

The Pseudo A(LT) Periprosthetic Fracture: It's Really a B2.
Periprosthetic fracture of the proximal femur involving the lesser trochanter (the Vancouver type A(LT)) is an uncommon occurrence. As it is basically an avulsion fracture of the attachment of the ili...

Comparing Surgical Techniques for CRIF of Pertrochanteric Fractures
Hypothesis: Inflatable intra medullary femoral nailing is superior to DHS in terms of blood loss, operative complications and postoperative rehabilitation in the management of pertrochante...
Skeletal Versus Cutaneous Traction For Treatment of Femur Fractures
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are any differences in skeletal or cutaneous traction for the treatment of femur fractures.
