Introduction This study aims to identify patient and intra-operative factors that contribute to
non-union in locked lateral plating for distal femoral fractures. Methods Systematic searches …

Methods: Studies reporting clinical outcomes for DP of native distal femur fractures were
identified and systematically reviewed. Publications without full-text manuscripts, those …

ABSTRACT A combination treatment using a retrograde intramedullary (IM) nail and a
lateral locking plate has scarcely been described in distal femur fracture treatment. In this …
