Fractures of the distal femur treated with the AO dynamic condylar screw.

چکیده
We report the results of treatment with the dynamic condylar screw of 21 cases of supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of the femur in patients aged 22 to 91 years. There were two nonunions and no deaths. We found the device easy to use and the good fixation allowed early patient mobilisation.

Is Distal Femur Locking Plate a Superior Implant in Distal Femur Fracture?
In spite of advances in techniques and improvements in surgical implants, confusion still prevails regarding use of specific implants in distal femur fracture. Fractures in the distal femur have posed considerable therapeutic challenges throughout the history of fracture treatment. Most of these surgical failures were due to inadequate fixation of the fracture fragments. The Aim of the study is...
متن کاملOutcomes Of Distal Femur Fracture Treated With Dynamic Condylar Screw.
BACKROUND Implants for open reduction and internal fixation of distal femoral fracture includes angle blade plate, rush nails, enders nail and interlocking nails. But all these devices are technically demanding and less effective in providing inter-fragmentary compression in osteoporotic bones. These problems can be solved with dynamic condylar screw (DCS).The objective of the study was to dete...

PURPOSE To compare outcomes of 3 fixation techniques for intra-articular distal femoral fractures. METHODS Records of 59 men and 49 women aged 16 to 80 (mean, 47) years who underwent internal fixation for 116 type-C (complete intra-articular) distal femoral fractures were retrospectively reviewed. According to the AO classification, 25 fractures were type C1 (23 closed and 2 open), 71 type C2...
متن کاملRadiologically visible surgical error and poor outcome of internal fixation in distal femoral fractures.
BACKGROUND Distal femoral fractures are usually complex and difficult to treat. The surgeon must demonstrate sound judgment in interpreting the fracture pattern and must possess a basic understanding of the principles of operative fracture management as well as knowledge of the mechanics of the implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS 1 70 patients with distal femoral fractures were operated by 10 diff...
متن کاملFailure of Distal Femoral Locking Plate: Case Report
The Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS) and titanium distal femoral locking compression plate (DF-LCP) was designed by the AO Group to combine the advantages of both interlocked intra-medullary nailing and biological plating techniques in one system. The stiffness of the construct is similar to a 95° condylar plate, dynamic condylar screw, or condylar buttress plate. We report a case of t...
