Locked Plating and Advanced Augmentation Techniques in Osteoporotic Fractures - 07/03/19

Résumé |
“The incidence of osteoporotic fracture is increasing with the aging US population. Because osteoporosis leads to a decrease in bone mineral density with a decrease in both trabecular and cortical bones, osteoporotic fracture presents fixation challenges with standard plate and screw constructs. Locked plating has been developed to create a fixed-angle plate-screw construct that is more resistant to failure in osteoporotic bone. Endosteal replacement, additional plates, and cement augmentation have all been demonstrated to further supplement osteoporotic fracture fixation. Technologies on the horizon to treat osteoporotic fracture include SMV screws, hydroxyapatite-coated implants, and far cortical locking screws."
