Objectives: To investigate whether (1) the type of fixation at the shaft (hybrid vs. locking),(2)
the position of the plate (offset vs. contact) and (3) the implant material has a significant …

Introduction We hypothesised that the use of a polyaxial locking plate design offers the same
clinical benefits as a monoaxial locking plate system following distal femoral osteoporotic …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to identify the timing and nature of complications
associated with distal femur fracture surgery in patients aged 65 and older using the …

Aim To demonstrate validity of a bio-metallic solution in bone healing combined with the
quadriceps safe approach in the treatment of nonunions of distal femur while malunions …

Objectives: Provide a framework for the development of a “Code Femur” protocol for geriatric
distal femur fractures. Design: Literature Review and Evidence Based Note Templates …

Aim Distal femur fractures (DFF) are rare, but associated with high complication rates and
mortality, particularly in patients with osteoporosis. To improve preoperative assessment, we …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of distal femoral fracture fixation of
two different methods, lateral locking plate (LP) or an Intra-medullary nail (IMN), in patients …

Objectives: To determine whether nail plate constructs have lower rates of reoperation to
promote bone healing than lateral locking plates in the treatment of distal femur fractures …

Aim: This study aims is to investigate radiographic, mineral bone densitometry and clinical
outcomes of locking retrograde intramedullary (LRN) nailing and anatomical locking plate to …

Osteoporosis-related fractures are a growing public health concern worldwide due to high
societal and economic burden. The study aims to assess trends in incidence rates of hip and …
