Abstract
Background: The optimal treatment of complex distal femur fractures always remains challenging and controversial. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of distal femoral locking compression plate (DF-LCP) in terms of functional outcome, and union rate for highly unstable or complex distal femurfractures and to determine the influencing factors of an unfavorable outcome. Methods: After obtaining approval from the institutional ethics committee, 58 patients with complex distal femur were managed by open reduction and internal fixation with DF-LCP through lateral approach and as per standard protocol. The follow-up results were analyzed clinically and radiologically, using the “ Schatzker and Lambert criteria” at once in a month for the first three months, once in three months upto one year and once in six months after that up to two years.
