EVALUATION OF RESULTS OF DISTAL FEMUR LOCKING PLATE IN DISTAL FEMUR FRACTURES

Abstract

Background: The choice of distal femur locking plate in distal femur fractures has been a topic of debate. This study was performed to evaluate the results of distal femur locking plate in distal femur fractures. A prospective Material and Methods : randomized study of 30 patients with distal femur fracture was conducted at Department of Orthopaedics, JLN Medical College, Ajmer from January 2019 to July 2020 and followed up from 6 months to 18 months for a minimum of 6 months duration. The distal femur locking compres Implants used : sion plate. Classification system : AO Classication. Clinical and functional outcomes were assessed using Ra Results & Observations : smussen's functional knee score. Complications of fractures and operative treatment were assessed. The results of entire study group showed 18 excellent, 10 good, 1 fair and 1 poor. Conclusion : We observed and recommend that the distal femur LCP is an optimal tool of good xation for fractures of distal femur.
