    Periprosthetic Hip Fracture due to Ballistic Injuries
    (2024) Sandoval, Felipe; Valenzuela, Joaquin; Carmona, Maximiliano; Guiloff, Benjamin; Salgado, Martin
    Periprosthetic hip fractures are a common cause for revision. To date, however, there are no reports of periprosthetic fractures (PFs) in total hip arthroplasty caused by ballistic injury (BI). There are no current recommendations on the management of this pathology in the literature. The objective of this paper is to report on 2 successfully treated cases of PF caused by BIs. Additionally, a brief review of the literature regarding open fracture secondary to BIs is carried out. What we consider appropriate initial and definitive management for these patients is outlined. According to our clinical results and current evidence, adequate management for a BI Vancouver B1 femoral PF consists of early antibiotic therapy, surgical debridement, osteosynthesis with variable angle locking plate, structural allograft, cerclage wires, and negative pressure wound therapy.

    Skyline view of the patella does not increase fracture detection: A non-inferiority diagnostic study
    (2023) Gonzalez, Nicolas; Besa, Pablo; Correa, Ignacio; Guiloff, Benjamin; Irarrazaval, Sebastian
    Purpose: Patella fractures are frequent injuries in the adult population. Initial study is made by plain radiographs and the standard set includes the skyline view of patella. Recommendation for use of this projection is variable among the experts, without data that support its performance in the diagnosis of patella fractures. The main purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity of the antero-posterior and lateral view of the knee, without skyline view, in the diagnosis of patella fracture.
