Distal femur fractures are challenging fractures to treat, with nonunion rates as high as 22%. Precontoured locking plates have mitigated some earlier causes of failure, while introducing new challenges. The recognition of troublesome injury patterns and appropriate preoperative planning can avoid common pitfalls. Adjunctive techniques, including the use of a radiolucent triangle, an external fixator, unicortical plates, and crossing K-wires, can assist with fracture reduction and maintenance. It is important to understand the common pitfalls involved with distal femur plating and to consider a wide array of techniques to combat these challenges.

Abnormal spinopelvic motion from spine pathology is associated with inferior outcomes after total hip arthroplasty, including inferior patient-reported outcomes, increased rates of instability, and higher revision rates. Identifying these high-risk patients preoperatively is important to conduct the appropriate workup and formulate a surgical plan. Standing and sitting lateral spinopelvic radiographs are able to identify and quantify abnormal spinopelvic motion. Depending on the type of spinopelvic deformity, some patients may require increased anteversion, increased offset, and large diameter heads or dual mobility articulations to prevent dislocation. This review article will provide the reader with practical information that can be applied to patients regarding the terminology, pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of total hip arthroplasty patients with spinopelvic pathology.

The burden of revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is expected to increase with the rise in the number of TKA procedures being performed yearly. Management of bone loss during rTKA is challenging and necessitates appropriate surgical planning. Metaphyseal cones and sleeves have emerged as an increasing popular option for addressing metaphyseal femoral and tibial bone loss when performing rTKA. Understanding what cones and sleeves are commercially available and when to use them are critical parts of preoperative evaluation and planning. The purpose of this comprehensive review was to present different design philosophies, types of manufacturing, clinical outcomes, and the versatility and interchangeability of varying cones and sleeves with different TKA revision systems.

Intertrochanteric (IT) fractures are estimated to burden the healthcare system six billion dollars annually. Previous studies have documented a trend of early-career orthopaedic surgeons favoring intramedullary nails (IMNs) for these fractures, despite multiple randomized controlled trials demonstrating no evidence for improved patient outcomes when compared with sliding hip screws (SHSs). The purpose of this study was to report the trend of implant utilization for IT fracture fixation from 2007 to 2017.

In hip fracture patients with elevated international normalized ratios (INRs), the risks of delaying surgery for correction of INR are controversial. We examined the association of (1) preoperative INR values and (2) surgical delay with postoperative complications after intramedullary nailing of hip fractures.

Olecranon fractures are common in the elderly. Articular impaction is encountered occasionally, but the incidence and outcomes after treatment of this injury pattern have not been well characterized.

In the proper age group, there is evidence that total hip arthroplasty (THA) has superior outcomes for the treatment of acetabular fractures compared with open reduction and internal fixation. Studies comparing patient demographics and identifying risk factors for either surgical site infections (SSIs) or periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to (1) compare baseline demographics of patients who did and did not develop infections and (2) identify risk factors associated with developing either SSIs or PJIs.

A simple antibiotic prophylaxis initiative can effectively decrease the time to antibiotic administration for patients with open fractures. We aim to determine whether adherence to the protocol decreased over time without active input from the orthopaedic trauma team.
