Abstract

Osteoporosis leads to bone fragility and increased risk of fracture. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, the prevalence continues to rise. Osteoporotic fracture treatment has a unique set of difficulties related to poor bone quality and traditional approaches, and implants may not perform well. Fixation failure and repeat surgery are poorly tolerated and highly undesirable in this patient population. This review illustrates the most recent updates in internal fixation, implant design, and surgical theory regarding treatment of patients with osteoporotic fractures.

J Orthop Trauma. 2014;28:83–9. Ricci et al. showed a secondary reoperation rate of 19 % with the use of locked plate fixation for distal femur fractures, a fracture commonly associated with osteoporosis. The identified risk factors for reoperation to promote union included open fracture, diabetes, smoking, increased body mass index, and shorter plate length. This illustrates that plate length, a surgeon modifiable risk factor, is an important consideration in construct design when treating osteoporotic fractures.PubMedCrossRef

J Orthop Trauma. 2014;28:181–8. Bottlang et al. showed that far cortical locking improved union rates in the treatment of distal femur fractures with 30 of 31 fractures uniting and only one fracture needing revision for nonunion. There were no complications of loss of fixation when using far cortical locking screws proving this novel implant to be safe and effective.PubMedCrossRef
