Aim: This study compares the outcome of intracapsular hip fracture fixation using the Targon Femoral Neck (TFN) locking plate system with the standard fixation using cannulated cancellous screws (CCS).Patients and Method: Analyses of a prospectively collected data of all patients treated for intra...
LAS VEGAS — DePuy Synthes has announced the launch of the TFN-Advanced Proximal Femoral Nailing System, designed to improve patient outcomes by more closely matching the anatomy of patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.The system i...
One patient (4%) who had total hip arthroplasty needed revision surgery for acetabular replacement. Overall, a total of 81 revision procedures were performed. Conclusion Based on the data from this study, we recommend THA as the only valid salvage procedure for ‘cut-out’ and ‘cut-through’...
Revision surgeryCement augmentationIntroduction Closed reduction and fixation using a cephalomedullary nail represents the accepted management of unstable intertrochanteric fractures. Cut-through has been described as a complication associated with the treatment. Although a hip arthroplasty may be the most ...
