Description of new sign of integral (∫) for rotational deformity of distal femur
PurposeFemur shaft fractures commonly occur due to high velocity trauma and most of them are fixed with nailing. Malrotation is common after...

Risk of reverse golf club deformity with medial plating of distal femur fracture
IntroductionThis study described a deformity induced by medial plating of supracondylar distal femur fractures using plates that are precontoured for...
-
Distal femur fractures management and evolution in the last century
PurposeThe purpose of this historical review is to illustrate the progression and evolution of treatment for distal femur fractures.
Methods ...

Titanium versus stainless steel alloy bridge plates for distal femur fractures: Does callus form earlier with titanium?
IntroductionDistal femur fractures account for 3–6% of all femur fractures. Internal fixation of most distal femur fractures with an anatomic lateral...
-
The anatomical shape of the proximal femur correlates with the distal femur anatomy
PurposeIn the case of stemmed implants for lower limb joint arthroplasty procedures, implant stability and survivorship generally rely on the...

Rates of interlock screw back-out are high with the retrograde femoral nailing advanced system for distal femur fractures
PurposeThe retrograde femoral nailing advanced (RFNA) system (DePuy synthes) is a commonly used implant for the fixation of low distal femur and...

Local torsion of distal femur is a risk factor for patellar dislocation
PurposeIt has been widely reported that femoral anteversion is a risk factor for patellar dislocation. This study aims to evaluate whether internal...

Mechanical failure of distal femur mega prosthesis due to polyaryl-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) hinge component
BackgroundPolyaryl-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) has gained popularity as a substrate for orthopaedic hardware due to its desirable properties such as...

Distal femur fractures in elderly treated with internal fixation or distal femoral replacement — retrospective cohort study on 75 patients assessing functional outcomes, reoperations, and mortality
PurposeThis cohort study aimed to describe the functional outcomes, complications, and mortality of patients over 65 with acute distal femur...
-
Clinical differences between periprosthetic and native distal femur fractures: a comparative observational study
IntroductionThe incidence of periprosthetic distal femur fractures (PDFF) is increasing as the number of total knee replacements becomes more common....

Megaprosthetic reconstruction of the distal femur with a short residual proximal femur following bone tumor resection: a systematic review
BackgroundTo investigate the risk of postoperative function and complications associated with reconstruction methods in patients with short residual...

Aseptic loosening of tumor prostheses in distal femur after revision surgery: a retrospective study
BackgroundTumor prostheses of the distal femur after revision surgery is associated with high rates of aseptic loosening, which has introduced great...

Is the Citak classification of distal femur morphology age and gender dependent?
IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to compare the distal femur morphology in different age and gender groups using the Citak classification.

Five or more gender- and size-diverse customizations of distal femur prostheses are needed to improve fit for Chinese knees
PurposeMismatch between partial imported prostheses and Chinese anatomy affects the clinical outcome of the procedure. The purpose of this study was...

Recurrent chondromyxoid fibroma of the distal femur treated with percutaneous cryoablation
Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare, benign tumor of the bone with excellent prognosis but a high rate of recurrence. We report a patient presenting with...

Early peri-implant fractures after distal femur fracture locked plating?
PurposeTo report the peri-implant fracture rates after locked plating of distal femur fractures and examine risk factors.
MethodsOver a 7 year...

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...

Nonvascularized fibular graft with locking screw fixation for metaphyseal bone loss of distal femur: biomechanical assessment validated by a clinical case series
BackgroundThe optimal modality to surgically treat significant bone loss of distal femur remains inconclusive. The objectives of the present study...
-
Endosteal plating for the treatment of malunions and nonunions of distal femur fractures
PurposeTo describe the surgical technique and the outcome of a case series of nonunion and malunion of distal femur fractures treated with an...
