Article Synopsis
- Charcot foot, a serious complication of diabetes, can lead to high mortality and treatment costs, with amputation associated with a 70% 5-year mortality rate.* -
- A study compared outcomes between amputation and circular external fixation (CEF) for managing infected diabetic foot ulcers, revealing significantly lower mortality and better quality of life scores for CEF patients compared to those who underwent amputation.* -
- Although the overall treatment costs were similar for both methods, the quality of life improvement was much greater in the CEF group, indicating that CEF may be a preferable option for diabetic foot management.*
Background: Peri-implant fractures occur in association with an implant, used to treat a previous injury that is still attached to the bone. We recently published a proposal for a classification system for peri-implant femoral fractures [Videla-Cés, Injury,2019].
Aim: To assess the agreement of our classification system for peri-implant femoral fractures among a group of future users of said classification system.
Background Peri-implant fractures occur in association with an implant used to treat a previous injury and that is still attached to the bone. Peri-implant fractures are considered to be relatively "new" fractures and they lack any classification system that is accepted in practice. Generally, the fracture classification systems currently used in our clinical practice were not developed or validated using rigorous scientific evaluation methods.

Hip fractures are frequent in elderly patients, related to osteoporosis and with low energy trauma, which means that they can be considered a geriatric syndrome.
