Aims: The Peri-Implant and PeriProsthetic Survival AnalysiS (PIPPAS) study aimed to investigate the risk factors for one-year mortality of femoral peri-implant fractures (FPIFs).
Methods: This prospective, multicentre, observational study involved 440 FPIF patients with a minimum one-year follow-up. Data on demographics, clinical features, fracture characteristics, management, and mortality rates were collected and analyzed using both univariate and multivariate analyses.

Purpose: To identify risk factors predisposing patients to poor outcomes after fixation of periprosthetic hip fractures around femoral stems.
Methods: Prospective multicentre cohort study of fractures around a hip replacement stem managed by internal fixation. The primary outcome was one-year mortality, while secondary outcomes were local complications and healthcare burden-related outcomes (nursing facility utilization and hospital length of stay).
Introduction: Treatment of both simple and complex patella fractures is a challenging clinical problem. Although tension band wiring has been the standard of care, it can be associated with high complication rates. The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical performance of recently developed lateral rim variable angle locking plates versus tension band wiring used for fixation of simple and complex patella fractures.

- - The study compared the effectiveness of novel anterior variable-angle locking plates and tension band wiring (TBW) for fixing simple and complex patella fractures using 16 pairs of human cadaveric knees.
- - The experimental setup involved simulating fractures and performing over 5000 cycles of movement to test the fixation methods' stability by tracking interfragmentary movements.
- - Results showed that anterior variable-angle locked plating led to significantly less movement between bone fragments during cycling compared to TBW for both fracture types, indicating a stronger biomechanical performance.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of displaced, multi-fragmentary patella fractures in elderly patients treated with anterior plating and cerclage wires.
Patients And Methods: Between 2018 and 2020, patients aged at least 60 years old undergoing anterior plating and circumferential wiring for displaced, multi-fragmentary patella fractures with a minimum of 12 months follow-up were included. Fragments were reduced and circumferentially stabilized by loop wires, followed by multi-planar fixation with an anterior locking plate and multi-directional screws.
