“…7 Strength under axial compression was better with the LCP system than with the blade plate or nailing, by 34 and 13% respectively, but strength under torsion was reduced. [8][9][10][11][12] The authors observed better distal fixation with the LCP system with loss of distal fixation in only one LCP plate (6%), three blade plates (38%) and eight losses with retrograde intramedullary nailing (100%).…”

“…Kanabar et al, 7 in his study noted bone union in a mean period of 17(Range, 10-36) weeks and mean range of knee flexion was 93 degrees (80-130 degrees). Complications encountered in his series included 1 patient with deep infection, 2 patients with superficial infection and 1 patient with implant breakage.…”

BACKGROUNDDistal femur fractures account for about 7% of all femur fractures. These fractures can lead to knee stiffness and have the tendency to collapse into varus. The management of distal femur fractures has seen a paradigm shift from nonoperative measures to biological fixation and evolution of modern implants like Locking Compression Plate has been used in current times. With the use of Locking Compression Plate double plating can be avoided. In our study, we have evaluated the short-term Functional Outcome of patients who underwent open reduction internal fixation with Locking Compression Plate using Sander's criteria. Ours is both prospective and retrospective study of 20 patients with distal femur fractures treated operatively from April 2013 to October 2015. Our surgical modality of treatment is open reduction and internal fixation with locking compression plate using standard lateral approach. We have used AO classification to classify the distal femur fractures. With the results of our study, we have come to a conclusion that locking compression plate is a best option for both intra-articular and extra-articular distal femur fractures. It avoids the use of dual plating of distal femur which requires extensive soft tissue stripping in both sides, resulting in reduced blood supply, potential non-union and implant failure. Locking Compression Plate also helps in anatomical reduction of comminuted intra-articular fractures and it could also be used effectively in osteoporotic bone.

“…The presence of external rentgenonegative handle allows retrograde submuscular placing a plate and the opportunity for percutaneous fixation with monocortical self-drilling and self-tapping screws. Using unicortical (as opposed to bicortical) screws is a potential cause of loosening of screws in proximal femoral diaphysis, particularly in osteoporotic bone (39,40,41) (2)(3)(4)(5) months than the open reposition technique -an average time of 4 (3.5 -5) months . It is considered that it is preserved bone biology, fragments are not deperiostated and bone circulation is saved.…”

Distal femoral fractures thigh up from 4 to 9% of all fractures of the femur. There is a direct relationship between the mechanism of receipt of the lesion and the age, sex and the type of fracture. Caused mainly by high-traumatic effects and lead to a high degree of disability. For these reasons, injuries in this anatomical area are of great social importance. The goal of the distal femur fractures treatment is to recover patients preoperative status for the shortest possible period. This may be achieved by open reposition and internal fixation. Recent years are characterized by significant progress in the treatment of this type of fracture. This is due to the rapid development of new and sound biomechanical implants: 95 ° Angled blade plates (ABP), condylar buttress plates (CBP), dynamic condylar screw (DCS), retrograde intramedullary nails (two locking or a locking screw + spiral blade), LISS-plates. The discussion in the treatment of these fractures is concentrated in the choice of means of internal fixation by which to achieve the greater stability of the individual type of fracture.

Less Invasive Stabilisation System Plating for Distal Femoral Fractures

Abstract: LISS plating is useful in treating complex distal femoral fractures, resulting in reduced blood loss and low infection rates, while achieving early mobility due to primary stability of the construct.
