Distal Femoral Locking Compression Plate Fixation in DistalFemoral Fractures: Early Results

ABSTRACT

We conducted a retrospective review on eleven patients who were treated for Type A and C distal femoral fractures (based on AO classification) between January 2004 and December 2004. All fractures were fixed with titanium distal femoral locking compression plate. The patients ages ranged from 15 to 85 with a mean of 44. Clinical assessment was conducted at least 6 months post operatively using the Schatzker scoring system. Results showed that four patients had excellent results, four good, two fair and on
