Fixation of osteoporotic proximal #humerus #fractures remains challenging even with state-of-the-art locking plates. This study concludes cement augmentation of the calcar screws & screws with posteriorly located tips is the most biochemically advantageous ow.ly/78aF50Ds6Zd

Very grateful for the opportunity to present our study of improved functional and biomechanical outcomes of Bi-UKA relative to TKA at #ors2020 Good questions and an engaged audience. @MSkLab1 @orthorobodoc @RCSnews @DunhillMedical
Great talk by Amy, bi-uni knee outperforms total knee. “I can’t think of any other medicine discipline where a structure as important as the ACL is readily resected” @MSkLab1 @orthorobodoc
