Outcome of distal femoral fracture fixation with distal femoral locking compression plate using MIPPO technique
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Fractures of distal femur historically have been difficult to treat. These fractures are usually unstable and comminuted and have potential to produce long term disability when treated non-operatively. Their management evokes controversy because of the poor results obtained and they are notorious for many complications. A refined understanding of bone biology and the role of tissue vascularity and gap strain in fracture healing, contributed to the development of the use of locked plate technology(1,2) and the concept of bridging plate osteosynthesis
