Severely comminuted distal femur fractures require anatomic internal fixation for best results, but obtaining rigid fixation of the multiple fragments may be challenging or impossible using ...

Her knee was previously functioning well. However, 4 months prior to her current presentation, she fell and sustained a left distal periprosthetic femur fracture (Figure 1). This was managed at an ...

University of Texas at Dallas mechanical engineers have designed a 3D-printed femur that could help doctors prepare for surgeries to repair bones and develop treatments for bone tumors. The engineers, ...

That's a lot of people at the head of the bed. What we decided is that, logistically, it makes sense to use the distal femur as our "med board" because it's on the other side of the patient and ...

Abstract: The Less Invasive Stabilization System-Distal Femur(LISS-DF) and Locked Compression Plate-Distal Femur(LCP-DF) systems are internal fixators which avoid the problems related to the ...
