In the subtrochanteric region of the femur high tensile forces are active in the lateral cortex and even higher compressive forces in the medial cortex. Subtrochanteric fractures are often comminuted. The implant of choice for osteosynthesis of subtrochanteric femoral fractures is the condylar plate
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: The objective of the current study was to formulate a scoring system to enable decision making for prophylactic stabilization of the femur after surgical resection of a soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the thigh. ## METHODS: A logistic regression model was developed using
Osteoporosis defines a causal relationship between reduced bone density, reduced mechanical competence of the bone tissue of the sufferers and concomitantly an increased risk of fracture in life. The aims of the present study is: (1) to provide further evidence to support the use of Quantitative Ult
