Unicortical versus bicortical locked plate fixation in midshaft clavicle fractures.
Higher rates of poor outcomes in displaced midshaft clavicle fractures treated nonoperatively have recently been reported. Along with expanding indications for operative fixation and increasing application of locked plate constructs, it is unknown whether complications related to bicortical penetration of the clavicle can be avoided using unicortical fixation. The purpose of this study is to co...
متن کاملReversed Contralateral LISS Plate for Vancouver B1 Periprosthetic Femoral Shaft Fractures.
The authors reviewed all patients treated for periprosthetic femur fractures between March 1, 2007, and January 31, 2010 at the senior author's institution. Demographic features, mechanism of injury, radiographs, and computed tomography scans were reviewed to determine the type and stability of the femoral implant at the time of injury. All Vancouver B1 fractures were treated with a novel techn...
متن کاملPeriprosthetic Vancouver type B1 and C fractures treated by locking-plate osteosynthesis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Historically, the treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) has been associated with a high frequency of complications and reoperations. The preferred treatment is internal fixation, a revision of the femoral stem, or a combination of both. An improved understanding of plate use during internal fixation, and the introduction of locking-plate osteosynthesis may ...
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 کاملIntramedullary nailing versus locked plate for treating supracondylar periprosthetic femur fractures.
The objective of this study was to compare retrograde intramedullary femoral nailing with supracondylar locked screw-plate fixation for the treatment of periprosthetic femur fractures following total knee arthroplasty. Time to union and full weight bearing were the primary study outcomes, with perioperative blood loss, need for transfusion, need for revision surgery, and infection being the sec...
