ABSTRACT
Resumen: Introducción: La fractura articular de fémur distal es una lesión grave que durante años ha representado un problema en la traumatología que con frecuencia ocasiona distintos grados de incapacidad permanente en la rodilla. El destino de la articulación estaba determinado por la lesión más que por su tratamiento. Objetivos: Presentar los resultados del tratamiento quirúrgico de las fracturas articulares de fémur distal tipo C2 con tres modalidades de tratamiento: tornillo dinámico condíleo (TDC), placa de sostén condíleo (PSC) y placa periarticular (PPA). Material y métodos: Estudio comparativo de tres series terapéuticas, diseñado para comparar la efectividad del TDC, la PSC y la PPA en el tratamiento de fracturas articulares completas de fémur distal tipo C2. Se incluyeron 42 pacientes de ambos géneros, con edades entre 16 y 60 años, tratados en el IAHULA, con un seguimiento mínimo de 24 meses. Resultados: Predominó el sexo masculino con 73.8%, el grupo etario más afectado fue de 21-30 años con 28.57%. El tipo de fractura más frecuente fue la 33C2.3 con 42.86%. La PPA mostró mejores resultados que los otros implantes fundamentalmente en la escala funcional de la Knee Society. Setenta y uno punto cuarenta y tres por ciento de los pacientes presentó alguna complicación, resaltando la rigidez articular, la desviación angular en recurvatum, el dolor crónico y la artrosis postraumática. Conclusión: El TDC y la PPA son opciones válidas para el tratamiento de las fracturas de fémur distal AO 33C2, puesto que ofrecieron mejores resultados funcionales que la PSC
Abstract: Introduction: The distal articular femur fracture is a serious injury that for years has been a problem in traumatology. It is often believed that produced varying degrees of permanent disability in the knee and that the fate of the joint was determined by the injury rather than treatment. Objectives: Present the results of surgical treatment of articular distal femur fractures type C2 with three treatment modalities: dynamic condylar screw (TDC), condylar buttress plate (PSC) and periarticular plate (PPA). Material and methods: We conducted a comparative study of three therapeutic series designed to compare the effectiveness of dynamic condylar screw, the condylar buttress plate and periarticular plate in treating complete articular fractures of distal femur type C2. Patients of both genders, aged between 16 and 60 years, treated in the IAHULA, with a minimum follow up of 24 months. Results: We included 42 patients divided into three groups. Males predominated with 73.8%, the most affected age group was 21-30 years with 28.57%. The most common type of fracture was the 33C2.3 with 42.86%. The 71.43% of patients experienced complications, highlighting joint stiffness, angular deviation in recurvatum, chronic pain and post traumatic osteoarthritis. Conclusion: TDC and the PPA are valid options for the treatment of distal femur fractures AO 33C2, as offered better functional results than PSC.

Objective To analyze of related factors in affecting condylar buttress plate (CBP) surgical treatment of distal femoral fractures.Methods One hundred patients with distal femoral fractures were grouped according to eight related factors (gender,age,fracture type,fracture classification,surgical time,reset quality,whether bone graft and plaster braking),respectively.Operative efficacy was scored by the Neer knee functional score table,and score ≥ 72 was excellent,while ＜ 72 was good.Eight related factors were carried out single factor analysis with x2 test to compare the operative efficacy of each group,then the related factors with single factor analysis result of P＜0.05 were put in Logistic multifactor regression analysis,in order to clarify the independent risk factors for CBP treatment of distal femoral fractures.Results There was no significant difference (P＞0.05) in the operative efficacy between male and female group,open fracture and closed fracture group.The difference between youth,middle-aged and elderly group,type A and type C fracture group was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The operative efficacy of patients got surgery within 7 d was obviously better than those who got surgery 7 d later (P＜0.05).The operative efficacy of patients who had no intraoperative bone graft was better than those who had bone graft (P＜0.05).The operative efficacy of satisfactory reset group and none plaster braking group was better than that of unsatisfied reset group and plaster braking group (P＜0.05),respectively.Conclusions Age,fracture type and reset quality are CBP therapy independent risk factors for the efficacy of operation for patients with distal femoral fractures,which will provide some reference for improving the operative efficacy of CBP operation in treatment of distal femoral fractures.
ABSTRACT
Background: Distal Femur fractures are one of the common fractures occurring in road traffic accidents. Various modalities are used for fracture of distal femur, one of them is condylar buttress plate. Various studies have claimed better results in surgical management of distal femur fracture. This study was planned to compare two treatment modalities for supracondylar and intercondylar fracture of the femur, open reduction and internal fixation with a condylar buttress plate. Aims & Objective: Objective of this study was to study the surgical technique for fixation of lower end femur fractures with condylar buttress plate and its functional and anatomical outcome. Materials and Methods: Total 30 patients above 18 years of age irrespective of gender, having fresh displaced and undisplaced fractures type A1, A2, A3, C1, C2,C3 and nonunion of distal femur fractures. Distal femur fracture was fixed with condylar buttress plate Results: A total of 30 cases were studied comprising 21 males (70%) and 9 females (30%) of which mean age is 37 years. Mean hospital stay was 35.8 days, out of 30 patient 11 patients developed some complication. 22 patients have good to excellent results as outcome. Conclusion: The Condylar Buttress Plate is an effective method for the treatment of Supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of the femur.
