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).
