Comparing outcomes of plate augmentation, nail exchange, and nail exchange with plate augmentation in the treatment of atrophic femoral shaft nonunion after intramedullary nailing: a multicenter retrospective study
IntroductionIntramedullary (IM) nailing is the treatment of choice for femoral shaft fractures, but nonunion rates have been reported to be as high...

Comparison of intra-operative outcomes following internal fixation with trochanteric stabilisation plate or intramedullary nail in intertrochanteric fractures
PurposeIntertrochanteric fractures can be classified as stable (AO-OTA 31-A1) or unstable (AO-OTA 31-A2/3). For A3 fractures there is no recommended...
