Di Cesare, MD; New York University-Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York, USA Purpose: We biomechanically compared the stability of a simulated supracondylar femur fracture proximal to a total knee arthroplasty instrumented with either the Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS) or a short retrograde inserted locked supracondylar intramedullary nail.
