Case Report Abstract Sagittal malalignment after intramedullary fixation of proximal third tibial shaft fractures has been described frequently, but almost every reported case involves a procurvatum deformity. We report 2 cases of recurvatum deformity of proximal third tibial shaft fractures where the Synthes EX tibial nail was used. The recurvatum deformity may have been induced by the shape of the nail, with its more distal Herzog curve relative to designs from other manufacturers.
Abstract and Introduction Abstract Distal femur fractures are challenging fractures to treat, with nonunion rates as high as 22%. Precontoured locking plates have mitigated some earlier causes of failure, while introducing new challenges. The recognition of troublesome injury patterns and appropriate preoperative planning can avoid common pitfalls.
