Plate Positioning in Periprosthetic or Interprosthetic Femur Fractures With Stable Implants-A Biomechanical Study.
BACKGROUND Angular stable plate fixation is a widely accepted treatment option for interprosthetic or periprosthetic femoral fractures with stable implants. This biomechanical study tries to establish a safe distance of the plate from the tip of a femoral prosthesis. METHODS A total of 38 composite femurs were reamed to an inner diameter of 23 mm to create an osteoporotic bone model. A Weber ...
متن کاملComparison of locked plating and intramedullary nailing for periprosthetic supracondylar femur fractures after knee arthroplasty.
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two treatment modalities for periprosthetic supracondylar fractures. The results of intramedullary nailing in 7 patients and locked plating in 9 patients were reviewed retrospectively. Mean follow-up was 4.3 years (range : 1 to 13 years). One patient died on the first postoperative day. Union of the fracture was achieved in the other 15 patients, afte...
متن کاملManagement of periprosthetic fractures of the femur
Periprosthetic fractures occur around the tip of the prosthesis in approximately 0.1% to 2.5% of all hip replacements [1]. Although this is only a very small percentage, it is still significant due to the large number of hip procedures undertaken each year and is certain to increase because of the ageing population. When the prosthesis is not loose, the condition is difficult to treat because o...
متن کاملBiomechanical evaluation of periprosthetic femoral fracture fixation.
BACKGROUND A variety of methods are available for the fixation of femoral shaft fractures after total hip arthroplasty. However, few studies in the literature have quantified the performance of such repair constructs. The aim of this study was to evaluate biomechanically four different constructs for the fixation of periprosthetic femoral shaft fractures following total hip arthroplasty. METH...
متن کاملPolyaxial locking plate fixation in distal femur fractures: a biomechanical comparison.
OBJECTIVES Uniaxial, first-generation locking plates have become increasingly popular for fixation of supracondylar femur fractures. Polyaxial plates are currently available, which allow for variable-angle screw insertion; however, the biomechanical integrity of these new locking constructs is yet unproven. This study compares the mechanical stability of a conventional locking plate with that o...
