摘要: Twenty-six comminuted distal femur fractures treated with a lateral condylar buttress plate were followed up until fracture union or implant revision (mean follow-up, 26 months). Mean postoperative angle (medial femoral immediately after surgery) was 96 degrees, and mean final (angle at healing revision) 91 degrees (P = .06). Distal decreased 5 less in 15 patients, 6 to 10 8 more than 3 patients. Final 90 13 of the fractures: 38% these required reconstruction for nonunion, malunion, knee arthrosis. The plate, which is not fixed-angle device, allowed varus collapse occur 42% fractures.
