dc.description.abstractIn this prospective study, 50 patients with distal femur fracture were treated using distal femur locking plate. Extra-articular fractures were fixed with minimal invasive technique without exposing the fracture site and intra-articular fractures were treated by open technique. Schatzker and Lambert (1979) criteria is used for functional assessment. In our series majority of the patients were males (70%), predominantly with AO type C fracture. RTA was the major mode of trauma (80%). Average union time was 14.2 weeks and average range of motion was 109.50. According to Schatzker and Lambert's criteria 22 patients had excellent results, 16 patients had good results, 8 patients had fair results and 4 patients had failure. We conclude that this implant should be used in distal femur fractures especially in, fractures with articular extension and comminution. Locking compression plate allows early weight bearing which is an additional advantage for good vocational, mental, social and physical health.en_US
