Article Title: A New Surgical Technique and Clinical Outcomes of Operated Proximal Metadiaphyseal Humeral Fractures and Nonunions With the Use of Reversed Anatomic Distal Femoral Locking Plate

doi: 10.7759/cureus.18309

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Left 4.5 mm anatomic locking LCP Distal Femur Plate inserted to the right humerus with the splayed part of the plate facing proximally and posteriorly. (B) The correct plate position is at least 5 to 8 mm distal to the top of the greater tuberosity and slightly posterior to the bicipital groove to avoid anterior impingement and irritation of the tendon of the long head of the biceps.

Article Snippet: The type of implant used was the contralateral 4.5 mm anatomic locking LCP Distal Femur Plate (DePuy Synthes, West Chester, USA) with the splayed part of the plate facing proximally (Figure ).

Article Title: The impact of mal-angulated femoral rotational osteotomies on mechanical leg axis: a computer simulation model

doi: 10.1186/s12891-020-3075-1

Figure Lengend Snippet: Baseline osteotomy planes (i.e. perpendicular to the femoral mechanical axis). In red the subtrochanteric and the supracondylar osteotomy. In grey the 6 holes 4.5 mm Broad LCP Plate and the TomoFix Medial Distal Femur Plate. In black the mechanical femoral axis

Article Snippet: The level of the subtrochanteric osteotomy was set 45 mm below the lesser trochanter in Model 1 and 40 mm below the lesser trochanter in Model 2, in a way that a 6 holes 4.5 mm Broad LCP Plate (Depuy-Synthes Oberdorf, Switzerland) could be properly placed (Fig. ).
