“…More recently, though, concern has developed as the reported rates of nonunion after LLP fixation of distal femur fractures now vary over the larger range of 0-21% and problems with healing have been reported to be as high as 32% in a recently published review of the literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Another recent study reports worse outcomes with LLP than with the standard 95-degree-angled blade plate in the treatment of distal femur fractures [20].…”

“…Initial studies using LLP reported promising outcomes with nonunion rates in the range of 0-14% but mostly fewer than 6% [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, in recent years, initial success rates have given way to more concerning outcomes with reported nonunion rates reaching as high as 17-21%, with reports of decreased callus formation, problems with healing of up to 32%, and other complications [16][17][18][19][20]. The increase in reported nonunion rates is of recent interest.…”

“…Für die Behandlung periprothetischer Frakturen des distalen Femurs sind verschiedenste Verfahren beschrieben worden [2,3,4,5,11,16,20,22,25,26]. Die Behandlung undislozierter Frakturen mittels Gipsruhigstellung, Orthese oder Fixateur externe ist in Ausnahmefällen mög-lich, jedoch erlaubt die operative Stabilisation eine unmittelbare Bewegungstherapie und wird daher meist bevorzugt [3,16].…”

“…Aufgrund des Prothesendesigns müssen bei der Wahl des Eintrittspunkts bisweilen Kompromisse eingegangen werden, dann ist der ventralste Eintrittspunkt zu wählen, den die Geometrie der femoralen Komponente gerade eben noch zulässt Abb. 4 8 Unter Röntgenkontrolle in beiden Ebenen wird dann mit einem Führungsspieß der Nageleintrittspunkt festgelegt. Dieser ist in der anterior-posterioren Ebene durch die einliegende Prothese meist festgelegt und muss mittig zwischen den kondylären Anteilen der femoralen Komponente gewählt werden.…”
