Pitfalls in the Application of Distal Femur Plates for Fractures
Pitfalls in the Application of Distal Femur Plates for Fractures JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC TRAUMA Collinge, C. A., Gardner, M. J., Crist, B. D. 2011; 25 (11): 695-706Abstract
Despite design features intended to aid the surgeon in restoring proper alignment, malunion and implant-related problems are relatively common after a distal femur fracture treated with plate fixation. This article presents case examples of these problems followed by a discussion of the relevant distal femoral anatomy, design features of modern locked distal femur plating systems, and technical points necessary to avoid malunion and implant-related problems when using these devices.
