Trajectory of bolt and length of plate in femoral neck system determine the stability of femur neck fracture and risk of subsequent subtrochanteric fracture : a finite element analysis
BackgroundThis study aimed to analyze the differences in the stability of fractures, stress distribution around the distal-most screw according to...
-
The geriatric distal femur fracture: nail, plate or both?
Surgical fixation of distal femur fractures in geriatric patients is an evolving topic. Unlike hip fractures, treatment strategies for distal femur...

Intramedullary nailing versus plate compound osteosynthesis in subtrochanteric and diaphyseal pathologic femoral fractures: a retrospective cohort study
PurposePathologic fractures of the extremities due to carcinoma metastases require individual and patient prognosis-related stabilization procedures....
-
Comparison of percutaneous compression plate to parallel screws in the treatment of nondisplaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients: a prospective, randomized study
BackgroundThe optimal internal fixation for non-displaced femoral neck fractures remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the clinical...

Does augmentation of intramedullary nails by a buttress plate effectively restore lateral wall integrity in intertrochanteric fractures
BackgroundRecent studies have proved the importance of intact lateral trochanteric wall, thus buttressing/fixing the broken lateral trochanteric wall...
-
Application of a combined cancellous lag screw enhances the stability of locking plate fixation of osteoporotic lateral tibial plateau fracture by providing interfragmentary compression force
BackgroundInsufficient interfragmentary compression force (IFCF) frequently leads to unstable fixation of osteoporotic lateral tibial plateau...
