[Translated article] Comparative clinical and biomechanical study of different types of osteosynthesis in the treatment of distal femur fractures.

Introduction And Objectives: Distal femoral fractures represent a problem due to their high number of complications. The aim was to compare the results, complications and stability achieved with retrograde intramedullary nailing and the angular stable plate in the treatment of distal femoral diaphyseal fractures.

Material And Method: A clinical and experimental biomechanical study was carried out using finite elements.

Salvage of cephalomedullary nail cutout with the variable angle proximal femoral plate.

Introduction: Excellent results have been published in the treatment of the trochanteric fractures in the elderly with cephalomedullary nails or compression hip screws but not free of complications. The perforation of the lag screw through the superior cortex of femoral neck or head followed by rotation and varus collapse of the head-neck fragment, also known as cut-out, is one of them. Probably total hip arthroplasty is the most common solution, but there is no systematic technique for treatment.

Risk factors of periprosthetic femoral fracture after total knee arthroplasty.

Introduction And Objectives: Periprosthetic fractures after primary knee arthroplasty has great importance in our environment due to the increase in their incidence and to the challenge they pose to the surgeon. Multiple factors have been associated with its production. The objective of the study was to identify the risk factors that could influence the appearance of these fractures, which of them are all modifiable and generate a probability prediction model based on these factors.
