Introduction: Over the past few years the use of arthroplasty was broadened to treating complex epiphyseal fractures at the shoulder and elbow joints. Similar trends to treat this type of fractures at the knee are less documented. Based on a multicenter retrospective series study, the aims of this work is to evaluate the short term clinical results of total knee prostheses in the management of comminuted epiphyseal fractures around the knee, to identify the technical issues and fine tune the indications.

Introduction: Despite recent improvements in surgical devices, complex proximal humerus fractures internal fixation still encounters frequent mechanical failures.
Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to confirm that the Bilboquet device (a design mimicking the cup-and-ball game) helps solving mechanical difficulties associated with these fractures internal fixation and to present a simplified version of the original surgical procedure.
Patients And Method: This non-randomised prospective study included 22 fractures in 22 patients, mean age: 70 years.
