Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces a method that enhances traditional sliding hip screws (SHS) with cerclage reconstruction plates to treat challenging peritrochanteric fractures and improve implant durability against shearing forces, ultimately aiming to lower the rate of implant failures.
- - The research involved two patient groups: one receiving the modified SHS (12 patients) and the other the conventional SHS (28 patients), analyzing factors such as surgery duration, blood loss, complications, and long-term outcomes over two years.
- - Results indicated that while surgery duration was longer for the modified SHS group, overall implant survival rates were comparable between both methods, with factors like subtrochanteric involvement and higher pain scores potentially predicting the need for future revisions
Purpose: For opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy, previous studies have shown that most osteotomies were anterior-inclined. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sagittal osteotomy inclination on the anteroposterior translation of osteomized fragments and discuss its possible impact on the patellofemoral joint.
Methods: We retrospectively measured the angle between the joint line and the sagittal osteotomy line.
