Conclusion: This study showed that there was no significant difference in terms of functional outcome (Hospital for Special Surgery score), union, fracture alignment, range of motion (knee, hip joint), infection, other outcome measures between plating and nailing in the treatment of distal femoral...
The size will be chosen also to optimize the contact between residual bone and prosthetic surface treatment in the metaphysial proximal and diaphysial regions. The stem must be locked depending a few technical requirements. The position of the stem will be chosen regarding limb length (height) ...
The use of locking plates in the surgical treatment of proximal humeral fractures is associated with an unexpectedly high rate of screw cutout and revision surgery, especially in patients older than sixty years who have a three or four-part fracture. The indications for open reduction and inte...
