Distal femur fractures present considerable challenges in management in a country like ours. Geriatric patients especially women sustain fractures due to osteoporosis because of post–menopause complications. Supracondylar fractures of femur have a bimodal distribution. They account for 6% of all femur fractures and 31% if hip fractures. This study puts in an effort to study the distal femoral fractures fixed with distal femoral locking plate.
