Intravenous Versus Locally Injected Tranexamic Acid in a Fragility Hip Fracture Population: A Retrospective Review.

Objectives: Evaluate differences between blood transfusion and complication rates among fragility hip fracture patients treated with locally injected (Local) versus intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA).

Methods: Design: Retrospective comparative cohort.

Setting: Tertiary referral orthopaedic specialty hospital; Level I trauma center.

Treatment of Periprosthetic Nonunions of the Lower Extremity.

Multiple studies have reported nonunion rates of 3% to 17% following peri-prosthetic fractures. Determining management strategies based on the available literature is difficult because existing studies are small and involve heterogeneous treatments and multiple surgeons. The purpose of this study was to describe a consecutive series of patients who presented to the authors' clinic with a periprosthetic nonunion of the lower extremity and to report the methods used to achieve limb salvage and the associated complications.
