Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 8. J Orthop Trauma. 2019 Dec;33 Suppl 8:S21-S26. doi: 10.1097/BOT.0000000000001643. Osteoporotic Bone: When and How to Use Augmentation? Schuetze K(1), Eickhoff A, Röderer G, Gebhard F, Richter PH. Author information: (1)Department of Trauma-, Hand-, and Reconstructive Surgery, Ulm University, Ulm, Germany. The number of fragility fractures is rising, and treatment is a challenge for orthopaedic trauma surgeons. Various augmentation options have been developed to prevent mechanical failure. Different composites can be used based on the fracture type, patient needs, and biomechanical needs. Indications for augmentation are not limited to osteoporotic fractures but can also be performed as a salvage procedure or in pathologic fractures. Biomechanical studies have shown advantages for augmented implants in the spine, proximal femur, and humerus. Clinical studies are preliminary but promising, showing good clinical results after augmentation with reduced mechanical failure and minimal complications. DOI: 10.1097/BOT.0000000000001643
