High Percentage of Complications and Re-Operations Following Dynamic Locking Plate Fixation with the Targon FN for Intracapsular Proximal Femoral Fractures: An Analysis of Risk Factors.

The ideal surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures remains controversial. When treating these fractures with internal fixation, many fixation constructs exist. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and specific risk factors associated with complication and re-operation following fixation of intracapsular proximal femoral fractures using the Targon-FN system (B.

[Reduction and fixation of tibia plateau fractures : Tips and tactics based on the 3-column concept].

Objective: The surgical management of tibial plateau fractures remains a challenge. The aim of surgery is the anatomical reconstruction of the joint surface with correct length, axis and rotation. The goal of osteosynthesis is to maintain a stable reduction to allow bone healing and functional aftercare.

Periprosthetic knee infection by Mycobacterium bovis and Candida guilliermondii in the context of a zoonosis: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infections are a major challenge for treating physicians. Musculoskeletal infections with Mycobacterium bovis are extremely rare, with an assumed incidence of 0.08-0.

Which lateral clavicle fractures can be treated by an arthroscopic-assisted endobutton procedure? An analysis of risk factors.

Introduction: Arthroscopy-assisted treatment of lateral clavicle fractures with coracoclavicular stabilization and an endobutton device have gained popularity over recent years. There is little evidence to support which types of lateral clavicle fractures are suitable for this treatment. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical und radiological outcomes of this treatment and to identify which fracture types are suitable.

Stem- and progenitor cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus of the reeler mouse.

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been implicated in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. Furthermore, the decline of neurogenesis accompanying aging could be involved in age-related cognitive deficits. It is believed that the neural stem cell niche comprises a specialized microenvironment regulating stem cell activation and maintenance.
