– Discussion: – length & alignment are restored by use of femoral distractor in saggital plane, w/o need for fracture table; – this permits hip and knee to be flexed on the table during nailing; – the distractor may be particularly suited to poly trauma patients; – disadvantage … Read more
– See: – Radiographic Findings – Sliding Hip Screw w/ Unstable Frx – Discussion: – it is important prior to reduction to distinguish between unstable and stable frx intertroch fractures; – w/ cortical instability on one side of frx owing to cortical overlap or destruction, frx … Read more
– Discussion: – unicompartmental arthroplasty serves a specific nitch for knees that are too severe for arthroscopic management of medial DJD (see mosaicplasty) but are not severe enough for total knee replacement; – best indications: – UKR for patients with partial thickness cartilage loss in the affected compartment. – The implications of damage to the lateral … Read more
– Discussion: – press fit femoral stem main discussion – coating press fit femoral stem; – to maintain bone stock, proximal stress transfer must be a prominent feature of any cementless implant system; – proximal part of femur is often exposed to high longitudinal strain, & bone … Read more
