| description | Introduction:
Recent advancements in the treatment of distal femoral fractures have significantly shifted toward more advanced fixation techniques and approaches. The variety of fracture patterns across different age groups complicates the establishment of a standardized treatment protocol upon presentation, thus making it difficult to establish defined protocols to follow in routine clinical practice.
Materials and Methods:
This review analyzes existing literature and research studies on traditional methods, such as plating, intramedullary nailing, and distal femoral replacement, alongside emerging techniques, such as nail-plate combinations, dual-plate constructs, and non-conventional approaches in patients presenting with distal femoral fractures
Conclusion:
A total of 3,880 patients treated for distal femoral fractures were included across 40 publications, aiming to provide a narrative of future management strategies that potentially end in significantly better outcomes. |
