Assessment of Outcomes Following Distal Femoral Fractures Treated with Locking Compression Plate Fixation

Abstract

Introduction: Fractures of the distal femur are relatively rare but pose significant challenges due to their complex nature. High-speed road accidents are a common cause in younger individuals, while falls at home often lead to these fractures in the elderly, especially in osteoporotic populations. Locking Compression Plates (LCPs) offer advantages in providing stability and promoting successful outcomes in treating these fractures. The goal of the current research is to examine the functional and radiological outcomes of Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of distal femur fractures utilizing a distal femur locking plate.
