Background Distal third femoral shaft fractures are characterized by increasing incidence
and complexity and are still considered a challenging problem (high morbidity and …

Aim Distal femoral shaft fractures are characterized by increasing incidence and complexity
and are still considered a challenging problem. No consensus on best surgical option has …

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 …

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review the results of proximal third femur
fractures treated with retrograde nailing (RGN) and compare those results to a cohort from …

Objectives:(1) Identify factors that predict blocking screw placement in the treatment of a
distal femur fracture with retrograde nail fixation and (2) determine whether acceptable …

Results After an average time of 33 months (range 12–37 months), 44 patients were
reexamined. Three patients were lost to follow-up. The average age was 44 years (range 17 …

Objectives Distal femoral fractures occur in patients with osteoporotic bone and also as a
consequence of high energy trauma. The recognised treatment options include closed or …

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare retrograde intramedullary nailing (RIMN)
and bridge plating for the treatment of extra-articular distal femur fractures. Methods: The …

Purpose. To evaluate the postoperative knee function and results of unreamed retrograde
nailing for distal third femoral shaft fractures. Methods. Between January 2002 and 2003 …

Purpose The distal femur comprises a wide intramedullary cavity and thin cortical bone. Firm
internal fixation of comminuted fractures with displacement is challenging. Although many …
