After a breakthrough PJI after 3 years, he underwent 2-stage exchange with explantation and spacer insertion, followed by reimplantation 2 months later with distal femoral replacement (DFR) (Figure 1) ...

At age 15 years, he had an additional 8 cm of LLD. At that time, he underwent right femur lengthening over a nail (LON) to gain 8 cm and achieve equal leg lengths (Figure 9). A contralateral left ...

A middle-aged man presented with a history of high-energy trauma with no open wounds, sustaining ipsilateral intertrochanteric and distal femur fractures with a patellar lower pole avulsion fracture.

With this study we intend to assess the impact of this technique in minimizing WRCs in patients with proximal and distal femur tumors treated with megaprosthesis. Methods This was an observational ...

The simplest is the arithmetic method. [32] This method assumes growth of the distal femur to be 1 cm per year, growth of the proximal tibia to be 0.6 cm per year, and skeletal maturity at age 16 ...

Married father of two Adrian Leslie Moss was driving home from a day of fishing and drinking beers when his life changed ...

Abstract: It has been recognized that one of the most difficult steps in intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures is the distal locking- the insertion of distal transverse interlocking screws ...

His injuries included, but were not limited to, a fracture of the left distal femur, open complex fracture of the left ankle with subtalar dislocation, large left-ankle degloving with significant ...

Pressure epiphyses are situated at the end of long bones and are subjected to compressive forces. The epiphyses of the distal femur and proximal tibia are examples of pressure epiphyses (fig 1). The ...
