Purpose The distal femur comprises a wide intramedullary cavity and thin cortical bone. Firm
internal fixation of comminuted fractures with displacement is challenging. Although many …

Internal fixation by plate osteosynthesis is the gold standard treatment for distal femur
fractures. Despite improvements that preserve the biological conditions for bone healing …

Introduction After surgery for distal femur fractures in elderly patients, weight-bearing is
commonly restricted. Immediate non-restrictive weight-bearing might have beneficial effects …

Surgical management of fractures has advanced with the incorporation of advanced
technology, surgical techniques, and regenerative therapies, but delayed bone healing …

Objectives Dual plate fixation has been reported to be effective in the treatment of
comminuted distal femur fractures (DFFs). However, optimized use of the medial plate and …

Objective This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of intramedullary nailing
and a lateral locking plate combined with the reamer-irrigator-aspirator (RIA) bone grafting …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to identify the timing and nature of complications
associated with distal femur fracture surgery in patients aged 65 and older using the …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of distal femoral fracture fixation of
two different methods, lateral locking plate (LP) or an Intra-medullary nail (IMN), in patients …

OBJECTIVE: To identify technical factors associated with nonunion after operative treatment
with lateral locked plating. METHODS: Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Ten …

Background: Distal femur fractures are known to have challenging nonunion rates. Despite
various available treatment methods aimed to improve union, optimal interventions are yet to …
