1. In patients with distal femoral periprosthetic fractures (DFPF), patients treated with dual plating (DP) were more likely to be weight-bearing in the twelve-week postoperative period, compared with those treated with distal femoral locking plates (DFLP). 2. Compared with the DFLP group, the DP patients were more likely return to their baseline ambulatory status. Evidence
Weight-bearing activities may strengthen bone and reduce fractures in youth with type 1 diabetes, a small cross-sectional study of girls with or without type 1 diabetes suggests, but more research is needed.
