Objectives: To investigate the biomechanical properties of a lateral locked plate alone or in
combination with a supplemental medial plate or an intramedullary nail (IMN). Methods: Intra …

Introduction Lateral locked plating is a standard treatment option for distal femur fractures.
However, the unstable conditions after lateral locked plating are increasing. The objective of …

Objectives: To identify discrete construct characteristics related to overall construct rigidity
that may be independent predictors of nonunion after lateral locked plate (LLP) fixation of …

Purpose The objective of this study is to investigate healing outcome of lateral locked plating
for distal femoral fractures caused by low-energy trauma. In addition, we sought to determine …

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 …

Objectives: To document the high failure rate of a specific implant: the Synthes Variable
Angle (VA) Locking Distal Femur Plate. Design: Retrospective. Setting: Urban University …

Background: A comminuted, intra-articular distal femur fracture was surgically treated by the
authors with a locked, double-plating technique because fixation stability could not be …

Objectives: Nonunion after locked bridge plating of comminuted distal femur fractures is not
uncommon.“Dynamic” locked plating may create an improved mechanical environment …

Purpose The treatment of distal femur fractures with extensive metaphyseal comminution is
frequently complicated by high rates of nonunion and varus collapse. Dual plating with …

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