Osteoporotic ankle fractures: an approach to operative management.

abstract：:Converting unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to total knee arthroplasty can be difficult, and specialized techniques are needed. Issues include bone loss, joint-line, sizing, and rotation. Determining the complexity of conversion preoperatively helps predict the need for augmentation, grafting, stems, or constr...
