Immediate weight bearing of comminuted supracondylar femur fractures using locked plate fixation.
Comminuted supracondylar femur fractures (AO-OTA 33A3) are commonly treated with locked plates. Weight bearing is generally restricted for 6 to 12 weeks until radiologic evidence exists of sufficient callous to support weight bearing. Recent clinical studies have reported high nonunion rates with distal femur locked plates. In an attempt to induce beneficial motion across the fracture site, som...
متن کاملPolyaxial locking plate fixation in distal femur fractures: a biomechanical comparison.
OBJECTIVES Uniaxial, first-generation locking plates have become increasingly popular for fixation of supracondylar femur fractures. Polyaxial plates are currently available, which allow for variable-angle screw insertion; however, the biomechanical integrity of these new locking constructs is yet unproven. This study compares the mechanical stability of a conventional locking plate with that o...
متن کاملDoes locked plating of periprosthetic supracondylar femur fractures promote bone healing by callus formation? Two cases with opposite outcomes.
Contemporary locking plates promote biological fixation through indirect reduction techniques and by elevating the plate from the bone. They have improved fixation strength in osteoporotic bone. Periarticular locking plates are rapidly being adopted for bridge plating of periprosthetic femur fractures. When these plates are used for indirect reduction and bridge plating osteosynthesis, fracture...

متن کاملAn Unusual Case of “Locking” of the Knee Four Years Post Fixation of an Open Supracondylar Femur Fracture
UNLABELLED The introduction of locking plate devices have increased the number of viable options for fracture fixation. An understanding of the indications and contraindications and technique limitations are important to minimise associated adverse events. We report the case of a patient who presented with a single broken screw head four years following fixation of a supracondylar femur fractur...
