The slide "Mechanisms of Failure" outlines mechanical failures like fatigue from cyclic loading causing implant cracking and overload leading to bending, breakage, or loosening in femoral osteosynthesis. It also covers biological failures such as non-union due to poor stability or biology, and infection resulting in osteomyelitis, implant rejection, and delayed union at fracture sites.

The slide outlines key statistics on failure rates and risk factors, with an overall failure rate of 5-20% varying across studies, infection incidence at 2-5%, and a 10% non-union rate due to healing failure. It also highlights high-risk factors like smoking, diabetes, and poor reduction, which increase risks by 3x or more.

Failure Rates & Risk Factors

• 5-20%: Overall Failure Rate

Variability across studies

• 2-5%: Infection Incidence

Post-operative complication

• 10%: Non-Union Rate

Healing failure occurrence

• 3x+: High-Risk Factors

Smoking, diabetes, poor reduction Source: Academic Review on Femoral Fracture Osteosynthesis

The slide "Risk Factors Comparison" presents a table comparing three factors—Smoking (odds ratio 2.5, prevention: Cessation), Diabetes (1.8, Control), and Osteoporosis (3.0, Therapy)—with their associated odds ratios and prevention strategies. It highlights osteoporosis as the highest-risk factor, emphasizing targeted interventions for risk reduction.
