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 …

Introduction Distal femur fractures are challenging injuries historically associated with high
rates of nonunion and varus collapse with operative management. As a result, clinical and …

Objectives: The 2 main forms of treatment for distal femur fractures are locked lateral plating
and retrograde nailing. The goal of this trial was to determine whether there are significant …

Aims Fractures of the distal femur can be challenging to manage and are on the increase in
the elderly osteoporotic population. Management with casting or bracing can unacceptably …

Aim To compare the outcome of locked compressive plating versus retrograde nailing in the
management of extra articular supracondylar femur fractures. Materials and Methods In this …

Surgical fixation of distal femur fractures in geriatric patients is an evolving topic. Unlike hip
fractures, treatment strategies for distal femur fractures are ill-defined and lack substantive …

Introduction Distal femur fractures make up< 1% of all fractures and 3–6% of all femur
fractures. In the literature, both intramedullary nailing (IMN) and locked plating (LP) have …

Background Distal femur fractures occur with an incidence of 4.5/100,000 and show a
prevalence of 0.4%. Causes include low-impact trauma in older patients and high-impact …

Objectives: To identify modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for reoperation to promote
union after distal femur fracture. Design: Multicenter retrospective cohort study. Setting: Ten …
