Abstract

Despite advances in fixation techniques, distal femur fractures treated with distal femur locking plates can have inconsistent functional recovery; therefore, functional outcome assessment using the American Knee Society Score (AKSS) is required. Locking plates on the distal femur provide greater stability and resistance to reduction in alignment during the management of distal femoral fractures when designs with fixed angles proved insufficient to manage some types of fractures. In this research, which was carried out at Sri Aurobindo Medical College and PG Institute, the authors assessed the results of 30 patients with closed distal femur fracture treated with these plates. The results showed good to excellent functional outcomes, 56.7 percent of patients had excellent results and few complications such as shortening of limbs (6.7) and infection (10). Thus, we show that locking compression plates are useful in the treatment of fractures of the distal femur.
