Displaced comminuted fractures of the distal humerus in adults are a difficult problem due to the complex anatomy of the elbow joint, small fracture fragments, and limited amount of subchondral bone. The lateral and medial columns of the distal humerus form a stable triangular frame.
To reproducibly obtain stable fixation in the setting of osteoporotic or comminuted fractures, the parallel plate technique for the treatment of distal humeral fractures is based on the principle of enhancing the fixation of distal fractures. The key to the stability of this fixation structure is th
Periprosthetic fractures of the proximal femur are a serious problem in hip arthroplasty. The reported incidence is 3.5% 20 years after initial implantation and increases with the incidence of joint replacements. Intraoperative fractures are often associated with uncemented stems. More commonly, fra
Fractures of the distal radius are among the most common fractures in the elderly. People between the ages of 50 and 75 are currently defined as the elderly. The incidence of distal radius fractures increases year by year as the range of motion in older adults increases.
