Background The incidence of distal femur fractures is approximately 37 per 100,000 person-
years. 1 Typically, distal femur fractures are caused by a high-energy injury mechanism in …

Objectives: Fractures of the distal femur are severe injuries that present many clinical
challenges. Nonunion, delayed union, implant failure, and the need for secondary …

Objective: Evaluate the treatment of C3 distal femur fractures with limited internal fixation
and tensioned wire circular external fixation. Design: Prospective cohort study, from June …

The treatment of distal femoral fractures has evolved; nevertheless, these fractures remain
difficult to treat and carry an unpredictable prognosis. Over the years, many different …

Fractures of the distal femur, even those with articular extension, are well suited to surgical
fixation with modern precontoured anatomic plates and nails. Numerous adjuvant …

Fractures of the distal femur are rare and severe. The estimated frequency is 0.4% with an
epidemiology that varies: there is a classic bimodal distribution, with a frequency peak for …

Distal femur fractures occur in a periarticular fracture pattern and disproportionately afflict an
aging population. Although the goals of treatment have not changed, the emergence of new …

BACKGROUND Supracondylar femur fractures are severe injuries that can be technically
challenging to operatively treat. Although they account for less than 1% of all fractures and …

Objectives: Locked plating has become a standard method to treat supracondylar femur
fractures. Emerging evidence indicates that this method of treatment is associated with …

Purpose Nonunion is a highly morbid complication that exacerbates the pain, disability and
financial burden of distal and diaphyseal femur fractures. This study examined the modern …
