Dynamic condylar screw and locking plate fixation in the treatment of distal femoral fractures-an interventional study

To compare clinical and radiological union in optimum position, complications encountered and to assess and compare the functions of the knee joint. Among 30 patients, 16 cases (54%) sustained A type and 14 cases (46%) suffered type C supracondylar fracture as per AO classification. 54% of patients had right sided injury and 47% of patients had left sided injury. Mode of injury in most of the patients (84%) was road side accident. Most of the patients were operated with an interval of 7 days (66%) and in rest 5 patients (34%) the delay was upto 14 days. In DCS group, 20% patients suffered immediate complications out of which 2 patients had superficial infection and one patient had deep infection. In LCP group, 2 patients (13%) suffered immediate complications, both had superficial infection. DCS group, history of knee arthrosis was present in 13% of cases before injury. In LCPgroup, history of knee arthrosis was present in 34% of cases before injury.
