متن کاملChallenges of Plate Fixation for Vancouver Type-C Fractures after a Well-Fixed Hip Arthroplasty Femoral Stem
The fixation of distal femoral fractures (Vancouver type-C fractures) following a well-fixed hip arthroplasty femoral stem has become a challenging issue for orthopedic surgeons due to the inter-prosthetic biomechanical effects such as negative, positive, and torsional strain. Surgeons have applied a range of constructs to overcome these difficulties. To minimize the risk of inter-prosthetic fr...
