Lösungsmöglichkeiten bei fehlgeschlagenen Osteosynthesen am distalen Femur

Zusammenfassung

Die Versorgung von distalen Femurfrakturen ist eine große Herausforderung. Fehlgeschlagene Osteosynthesen müssen früh erkannt und revidiert werden. Wir unterteilen die Ursachen für misslungene Osteosynthesen in dieser Region in frühe sekundäre Instabilität mit Fehlstellung, Nonunion, Malunion und das Vorliegen eines Infekts ein. Anhand von klinischen Beispielen zeigen wir in der folgenden Arbeit mögliche Lösungsmöglichkeiten bei fehlgeschlagenen Osteosynthesen am distalen Femur auf.

Abstract

Failed osteosynthesis on the distal femur must be recognized and revised early. We divide the causes of unsuccessful osteosynthesis in this region into an early secondary instability with malposition, nonunion, malunion and the presence of an infection. Based on clinical examples, we show possible solutions for failed osteosynthesis on the distal femur in this paper.
