This report is being filed after the review of the following journal article: yuan, y.Et al.(2020), clinical outcomes of revision with retrograde intermedullary nailing for failed plating of distal femoral fractures: a retrospective study, international orthopaedics, vol.Xx, pages 1-6 (china).The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of retrograde intramedullary nail (rin revision surgeries for locking compression plate (lcp) failure in distal femoral fractures.Between january 2014 and december 2016, patients with distal femoral fractures underwent open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation.13 patients (11 males and 2 females; ranged in age from 22 to 63 years old, with a mean age of 45.6 ± 4.0 years) suffering from metalwork failures after initially undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures eventually underwent rin.The average duration from lcp fixation to metalwork failure was one¿18 months (mean, 8.0 ± 5.5 months).The following complications were reported as follows: patient 1: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 2: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 3: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 4: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 5: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 6: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 7: a (b)(6) year old female patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 8: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 9: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 10: a (b)(6) year old female patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 11: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 12: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.Patient 13:: a (b)(6) year old male patient had a metalwork failure after undergoing open reduction and locking compression plate (lcp) fixation for distal femoral fractures.This report is for an unknown synthes locking compression plate (lcp) construct.It captures the reported (b)(6) year old female patient who had a metalwork failure.This is report 10 of 10 for (b)(4).Additional devices are reported under related complaint (b)(4).
