Background: Cementless fixation for hip arthroplasties has increased in the last decades, particularly in younger patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term results of three different types of fixations in patients under 50 years old.
Methods: Cemented, hybrid and cementless fixations were assessed in patients under 50 years old with a minimum follow-up of 8 years.
Introduction: The optimal positioning of the cephalic screw in intertrochanteric fractures (ITFs) is crucial for minimizing the risk of cut-out. This study assesses the predictive value of the tip-to-apex distance (TAD) and tip-to-apex distance referenced to calcar (calTAD) for cut-outs in patients undergoing fixation with cephalomedullary nails.
Method: We analyzed 158 consecutive patients aged over 65 years (mean 83.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess clinical and functional outcomes as well as the prosthesis survival rates of the U2 Knee system in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a minimum follow-up of four years.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 560 consecutively primary TKA performed between 2015 and 2019 due to osteoarthritis with a mean follow-up of 5.4 ± 1.
Background: Restoring joint congruence and maintaining reduction until healing is imperative in treating tibial plateau fractures (TPF). The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of augmentation with impacted bone allograft (IBA) to prevent loss of reduction in tibial plateau fractures during healing and to evaluate its incorporation.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients with an acute, closed tibial plateau fracture (Schatzker II, III, IV) treated between 2010 and 2019 with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and impacted bone allograft (IBA), with a minimum follow-up of 24 months.
