متن کاملOutcomes of Surgical Management of Supracondylar Periprosthetic Femur Fractures.
BACKGROUND Fracture location is an important consideration in managing supracondylar periprosthetic femur fractures. The outcomes of locked plating and intramedullary (IM) nail fixation were therefore compared based on fracture location, being above or at/below the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) flange. METHODS Fifty-seven patients were identified from surgical records as being treated for sup...
متن کاملSurgical Management of Repeated Low-Energy Periprosthetic Femur Fractures
The number of periprosthetic fractures associated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasing due to longer life expectancies and the active lifestyles of THA patients. The management of periprosthetic fractures in THA patients requires substantial fracture surgery and arthroplasty expertise. Femoral fractures caused by indirect low energy trauma differ from direct impact fractures in the y...

متن کاملOur experiences with the treatment of periprosthetic fractures of femur.
In the statement authors want to draw attention to the possibilities of treatment of periprosthetic fractures of femur. They present their own experiences with the treatment of these fractures by using various types of internal and external fixation evaluated from 1996 to 2003. They present some less common types of internal fixation as e.g. fixation by clamp plates.
