Introduction After surgery for distal femur fractures in elderly patients, weight-bearing is
commonly restricted. Immediate non-restrictive weight-bearing might have beneficial effects …

Introduction: The treatment of distal femur fractures in geriatric patients is challenging and
has a high perioperative morbidity and mortality. Treatments have evolved significantly in …

Purpose Nonunion is the most frequent cause of reoperation and is associated with high
morbidity after distal femur fracture (DFF). We examined the rates of nonunion requiring …

Periprosthetic femoral fractures are increasing in incidence, and typically occur in frail
elderly patients. They are similar to pathological fractures in many ways. The aims of …

Objectives: To compare early complications in elderly patients with extra-articular distal
femur fractures (DFFs) allowed to weight-bear as tolerated (WBAT) immediately versus …
