Total hip arthroplasty for intertrochanteric fracture fixation failure
European Journal of Medical Research, 2019 BackgroundIntertrochanteric fracture is a common fracture suffered by elderly patients. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is regarded as a salvage operation to restore hip joint function after fixation failure, which remains somewhat controversial due to some

SHORT SEGMENT FIXATION OF THORACOLUMBAR FRACTURES WITH PEDICLE FIXATION AT THE LEVEL OF THE FRACTURE
Euromediterranean Biomedical Journal, 2018 Thoracolumbar fractures are very frequent injuries, for both anatomical and biomechanical reasons. The most appropriate surgical treatment is still debatable. However, the main objectives are generally the restoration of segmental stability, correction of the deformity, decompression and protection of the neurological structures, and obtainment of ...
