Abstract :

 Objective: To study longterm followup of biological plating of communited fractures of shaft of femur with respect to stabilization,mobilization and union. Methods:A series of 31 cases of communited fractures of shaft of femur were studied at an average followup of seven years. Assessment was done using Neers rating system .The results were compared to comparabale studies done by various authors in past by statitistical evaluation using SPSS ver. 21.0. Results:In our series excellent to good results were obtained in 83.67% cases while 12.24% shows fair and 4.8% showed poor results. The results obtained in our series were comparable to results obtained in previous series. Conclusion:The technique of minimally invasive biological plating in communited fractures of shaft of femur is safe and reliable modality for fractures of shaft of femur.
