Distal femoral locking compression plate fixation in distal femoral fractures: Early results
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
We conducted a retrospective review on eleven patients who were treated for Type A and C distal femoral fractures (based on AO classification) between January 2017 and December 2017. All fractures were fixed with titanium distal femoral locking compression plate. The patient’s ages ranged from 15 to 85 with a mean of 44. Clinical assessment was conducted at least 6 months post-operatively using the Schatzkerscoring system. Results showed that four patients had excellent results, four good, two fair and one failure.
