Mid-term results with a neck-preserving femoral stem for total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction:: This prospective study aims to evaluate the mid-term clinical and radiological performance of a new short, neck-preserving femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Patients And Methods:: 178 consecutive patients (190 hips) underwent THA from November 2008 to July 2016. Mean follow-up is 62.

Treatment of fractures of the tibial plateau (Schatzker VI) with external fixators versus plate osteosynthesis.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of circular external fixation (CEF) as a definitive treatment option for patients with complex tibial plateau fractures (Schatzker VI) compared with the outcomes of a fixed angle locking plates' group.

Methods: Level III evidence. Retrospective, comparative study in a Level I Trauma Center.
