plate and screw fixation is a commonly used treatment option for periprosthetic supracondylar fractures with well-fixed femoral components and sufficient distal femoral bone

plate fixation should also be considered, particularly in cases of poor bone quality or inadequate

plates and screws. The hardware includes long screws inserted into the bone and plates

plate is tied with the femur bone with surgical binders to maintain the bone

plates; cages; and allograft bones should be considered depending on the degree of preoperative

bone homeostasis,3 few studies have investigated the association of thyroid function and OA. Research has shown that D2 is upregulated in the cartilage of joints affected with OA compared with healthy joints.4,5 These findings suggest that local T3 availability may play a determinant role
