LCP Versus LISS in the Treatment of Open and Closed Distal Femur Fractures: Does it Make a Difference?
Postoperative infection and nonunion rates are comparable between LISS and LCP for both open and closed distal femoral fracture fixation. As no difference was detected between plates, either may be used to treat distal femur fractures. Nonunion rate was higher than expected based on previous reports.
Sclerostin antibody injections showed promising results, which were not different with the numbers available, from results achieved with complete depletion of sclerostin, especially at earlier stages of the healing process, and therefore completed the healing process at an earlier time.
