“…In this study distal femur condylar locking compression plate is used in all cases. ( Kumar et al, 2017) also reported using suspended traction system mode of Thomas splint with Pearson attachment permits good results. He focused on the importance of proper care in recumbent period consisting of high protein diet, early active exercises and timely Roentgenographic examination.…”

In the past few decades man has taken traveling to high speeds with flexed knee joint with much of impacts taken first by patella then femoral condyles and tibial condyles in different positions and proportions and with vast increment in technology, travel modalities and industrialization there have been advantages and disadvantages too like easier and faster traveling but road traffic accidents too. Such accidents and falls resulting in loss of lives and disabilities. In recent years with the advancement of technology and facilities, wide use and trend of open reduction & internal fixation has been apparent. This study evaluated the functional outcome of treatment for distal femur fractures. Patients were operated from 5 days to 35 days. Mean injury to surgery duration was 13.24 days patients were operated between 80 min to 160 min with mean time for operative procedure was 112.4 minutes, Open fractures were seen in 14(56%) closed fractures were seen in 11(44%). There were 14(56%) intra articular fractures and 11(44%) extra articular fractures. Comminution was present in 16(64%) fracture patterns in our study. All patients were operated with distal femur condylar locking compression plate. AO type C 3 fractures 7(28%) were most common type of fractures. Knee mobilization was started as early as within 2 weeks. Average time was 7.68 weeks. Functional outcome was analyzed according to the NEERS knee scoring system, 10(40%) observed excellent result, 5(20%) observed good results, 7(28%) observed fair result and 3(12%) observed poor results.

“…showed that LCP plating proved to be the better choice than DFN for treating distil femur fracture with respect to surgical duration, mobilization, fracture union, weight bearing, range of motion and complications [9] . Kumar SK et al concluded that distal femoral locking plate in the treatment of choice in the management of comminuted distal femoral fractures especially type A fractures where they had found higher Neer score [10] .…”

Fractures in the elderly are often challenging due to osteoporotic bone and co-morbidities and long term disability can occur. Surgery is the standard mode of treatment and hence a quick surgical treatment for early weight bearing and mobilization is required in order to prevent long term complications due to prolonged bed rest. All patients were documented prospectively, complete demographic details and clinical history was obtained. Clinical and radiographic evaluation was done in all the patients. Informed consent was taken and all patients were treated with DFLCP and retrograde nailing randomly. Duration of hospitalization was documented and follow up was done for 2 years. In this study, fracture union time was12-24 weeks with among the patients of the DLFP group with 75 percent have union and was 12-24weeks among the patients of the retrograde nailing group with union occurring in 80 percent of patients respectively. Significant results were obtained while comparing the mean fracture union time among the patients of the two study groups. In our study, follow up was done up to 2 years with 60% of patients followed up to 15 months in both the groups.
