A Prospective Study on Surgical Management of Closed Distal End Femoral Fracture in Adults Using Distal Femur Locking Compression Plate

Background: Distal Femur fractures are a highly incident complex case and pose challenge to the treatingorthopedician.Aims Objectives: The aims objectives of this study were assess radiological union distal femoralfractures by open reduction internal fixation with locking compression plate, To functionaloutcome for end femur Locking Compression Plate Toevaluate effectiveness complications treated CompressionPlate based on, time till union, rate infection, failures, functional outcome using NEER’S SCORE.Materials Methods: present was done from April 2017 2018 which comprised offifteen patients closed Femoral Fractures who where plate.Overall final assessed in terms clinical assessment regaining lostknee function Score.Results: Out 15 patients, 12 males 3 females.Out 14 due toRTA. Maximum number cases Muller type C2-60%. Internal considered after patientsgeneral medical condition stabilized. average operative 90 minutes. size plate wasselected on fracture. 6 10 hole used most commonly. Of 10(66.66%)showed within 16 weeks. 9 (60%) achieved weight bearing at 14weeks. Average flexion 100 degree more than (20%) having knee range ofmotion 110 degree. 1 Patient had stiff knee. More 80% extensor lag less 5degree. 2 VARUS MALALIGNMENT out patients.Results according SCORE wereExcellent 20% Good 60% , Satisfactory 6.6% unsatisfactory 13.3% patients. hadsuperficial infection patient delayed union.Conclusion: is an optimal tool femoral fractures. It provides rigidfixation region femur, wide canal, thin cortices frequently poor bone stock make fixationdifficult.
