Outcomes of distal femoral fractures treated with dynamic condylar screw (DCS) plate system: a single centre experience spanning 15 years.

Introduction: the dynamic condylar screw (DCS) plate is an angular stable fixation (95°) system for distal femur fractures that allows for the ability to apply compression across the femoral condyles. The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience treating distal femur fractures with this device and give the long-term outcome.

Methods: a retrospective study was undertaken in our institution during the period from January 2002 to December 2016.

[Sub- and intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus in adults].

Introduction: complete joint fractures of the lower end of the humerus are rare and severe injuries in adults, affecting the functional prognosis of a narrow and complex joint such as the elbow. Multiple therapeutic options are available, but osteosynthesis is widely used provided that it can recover stable, mobile, and painless joint. The purpose of our study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, radiological and therapeutic features of these fractures, as well as to evaluate functional outcomes in our patients.
