<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Multiple implants are available to treat distal femoral fractures. The recent addition is the locking plate contoured to the distal femur with combiholes in the proximal portion. Though it is established that locking plates offer higher stability than the previous implants like dynamic compression screw or condylar buttress plate, some studies showed higher incidence of delayed union. We evaluated 30 type A and type C distal femoral fractures treated with locking condylar plate in our institutes.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">We conducted a prospective study on 30 consecutive patients with fractures of distal femur operated with locking condylar plate from December, 2015 to February, 2017.

OBJECTIVESTo study the concept of Management of fracture shaft of humerous with locking compression plating. MATERIAL AND METHODSDuring the period of one and half years between Nov. 2013 to April 2015,30 cases have been studied for the effect of Management of fracture shaft of Humerous with locking compression plating at shadan institute of medical sciences, Hyderabad, T. S. Maximum follow period was 2 years. RESULTSThe study concludes that locking compression plating is establishing its position as the implant of choice in the management of fracture shaft of humerus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
