DISTAL FRMORAL FRACTURES FIXATION BY LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATE: EFFICACY & COMPLICATIONS

Dr. Arvind Kumar Bohra, Dr. Chetan Shrivastava, Dr. Dilip Sharma

Abstract :

 Locking compression plate (LCP) is a good fixation system for distal end femoral fractures particularly intra–articular type. The device provides good angular stability by its triangular reconstruction principle and thus helps in early mobilization, even in communited fractures where other modes of fixation often tend to delay the process of mobilization because of lack of stability. Preferably can be used in osteoporotic fractures were it provides a solution to the age old problems of screw cut out, late collapse, and misalignments since the stability of the construct does not entirely depend on the quality of the bone. This goes further to say that understanding the basic principles of fixation and the appropriate indications for use of LCP in fractures of distal end femur is a must, before its use. The final flexion achieved also depended on education level, compliance level and the motivation of the patient
