Abstract

Title: Evaluation of distal femoral fractures with locking compression plate using minimally invasive plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique. Aim: To prospective and retrospective analysis of clinical and radiological outcome of distal femur fractures treated with locking compression plate by minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique. Materials and methods: This is institutional based study of 23 patients with distal femur fractures were evaluated in between may 2017 to April 2022. Distal femur was exposed using modified lateral approach. We used locking compression plate to fix the fracture. Post operative rehabilitation was started from the 1st post operative day. follow up at every 6-8 weeks interval to assess knee range of movements and functional outcome. Hammer et al grading was used to assess radiological union and the knee society scoring system was used to assess the functional outcome
