A comparison of proximal femoral locking plate versus 95-degree angled blade plate in the treatment of reverse intertrochanteric fractures.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the results of the proximal femoral locking plate (PFLP) and the 95°-angled blade plate in the treatment of AO/OTA 31-A3 reverse intertrochanteric fractures with fracture line extending to the greater trochanter.

Patients And Methods: Forty-four patients with reverse intertrochanteric fracture which fracture line extending to the greater trochanter were retrospectively analyzed. Of those, 20 were treated with PFLP (PFLP group) and 24 were treated with ABP (ABP group).

[The relationship between the quadriceps muscle strength and the anterior knee pain occurring after locked intramedullary nailing for tibial diaphysis fractures].

Objectives: The relationship between the quadriceps muscle strength and anterior knee pain occuring after locked tibial intramedullary nailing for tibial shaft (diaphysis) fracture was investigated.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-eight patients who were treated with locked intramedullary nailing for tibial shaft fractures were included in this study. The patients who had anterior knee pain before the surgery were excluded.
