Purpose: The surgical management of periprosthetic femoral fractures is particularly challenging in geriatric patients due to physiological limitations. The choice between open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and hip revision arthroplasty for treating Vancouver B2 and B3 fractures remains controversial. This study aims to contribute further evidence by analyzing the in-hospital outcomes ...

Objective This study aims to analyze the differences in mechanical stability of OTA/AO 31A1.3 intertrochanteric fractures under various reduction conditions. Methods Twenty standard synbone artificial femur test bones were selected for the OTA/AO 31A1.3 intertrochanteric fracture model. The models were divided into five groups according to their reduction state: positive support, neutral ...

Case Presentation: Comminuted Periprosthetic Distal Femur Fracture - Plate and Nail

Even with the risk of discrete adverse events such as periprosthetic fracture or PJI occurring, postoperative improvement is notably a gradual process. While this gradual clinical progression toward MCID has historically been assessed in the orthopaedic literature using Kaplan-Meier analysis, it may actually be best captured by the interval ...
