Management of periprosthetic femoral fractures following total knee arthroplasties using locking plates or intramedullary nailing. Comparative study of 567 cases.

Introduction: Proximal femur fractures in elderly patients pose a common problem that requires surgical management. The main objective of this study was to compare the results of treatment by locked plate (LP) and by anterograde (AIN) or retrograde (RIN) intramedullary nailing. The secondary objective was to analyze the complications related to each group.

The comparative efficacy of nerve transfer versus tendon transfer in the management of radial palsy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: There is no clear census as to which operative technique provides better recovery for radial nerve injuries. Therefore, in this systematic review, we examined the functional recovery, patient-reported outcomes, and complications of tendon transfer (TT) and nerve transfer (NT).

Methods: Five electronic databases were searched for studies (>10 cases per study) comparing NT and TT regardless of the study design (observational or experimental).
