Aim To study the functional and radiological outcome of distal femoral fractures in skeletally
mature patients treated by open reduction and internal fixation with distal femur locking …

In spite of advances in techniques and improvements in surgical implants, confusion still
prevails regarding use of specific implants in distal femur fracture. Fractures in the distal …

Objective To report and evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing definitive treatment
for distal femur nonunion after initial treatment with a locking plate. Methods Fourteen …

Objective: Locking plates have become a standard implant in the treatment of distal femoral
fractures. Newer designs allow polyaxial screw placement as well as the ability to lock the …

Distal femoral fractures have typically a bimodal occurrence: in young people due to a high-
energy trauma and in older people related to a low-energy trauma. These fractures are …

Indications and techniques of locked plate fixation for the treatment of challenging fractures
continue to evolve. As design variant of classic locked plates, the polyaxial locked plate has …

Introduction Distal femoral fractures are rare and serious. Along with traditional internal
fixation, new, dedicated hardware have appeared (distal nails, locked plating). We report the …

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

Background Plate fixation is one of the standard surgical treatments for distal femoral
fractures. There are few reports on the relationship between the screw position and bone …

Introduction: Distal femur fractures are one of the most common fractures encountered in
high velocity trauma which are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The incidence …
