According to Fraser’s description, ipsilateral femoral and tibial diaphyseal fractures are characterised as type I floating knee and have a better prognosis than fractures with joint involvement (type II). There are few reports of functional and muscle strength in these patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the functional and isokinetic muscle strength of patients with type I floating...
Femoral shaft fractures are among the most severe injuries of the skeleton. They are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The most appropriate treatment depending on the type of fracture and location level should be chosen.A finite element model of the femur has been developed, analyzing various types of fractures in the subtrochanteric and diaphyseal supracondylar area, with several gap...
Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are rare but a serious complication associated with prolonged use of bisphosphonates. However little is known about clinical outcomes of AFFs. The aim of this study is to compare the characteristics and postoperative outcomes between older patients with AFFs and typical femoral fractures (TFFs).A retrospective matched cohort study (each AFF was age- and sex-matched...
The Cephalomedullary Nail (CMN) (Zimmer, Warsaw) was introduced in 2010 as part of a multicenter trial to evaluate its performance. At one year the CMN had results in keeping with other intramedullary devices with good union rates and low complication rates. In the second and third years of use an increased rate of implant failure was observed, towards the higher end of the 1–5% nail breakage rate...
