Asymmetric Post-Traumatic Knee Arthritis Is Closely Correlated With Both Severity and Time for Lower Limb Coronal Plane Malalignment Open
Objective: Mechanical alignment of the lower limbs has been suggested to cause abnormal uneven loading across the compartments at the knee, but its contribution to the initiation and progression of arthritis remains controversial. This stu…

Treatment of Metaphyseal Defects in Plated Proximal Humerus Fractures with a New Augmentation Technique—A Biomechanical Cadaveric Study Open
Background and Objectives: Unstable proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) with metaphyseal defects—weakening the osteosynthesis construct—are challenging to treat. A new augmentation technique of plated complex PHFs with metaphyseal defects wa…

Statistical Morphology and Fragment Mapping of Complex Proximal Humeral Fractures Open
Background and Objectives: Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are common in the elderly, but the treatment results are often poor. A clear understanding of fracture morphology and distribution of cortical bone loss is important for improved…

A Novel Technique for Treatment of Metaphyseal Voids in Proximal Humerus Fractures in Elderly Patients Open
Background and Objectives: The treatment of proximal humerus fractures in elderly patients is challenging, with reported high complication rates mostly related to implant failure involving screw cut-out and penetration. Metaphyseal defects…
