Study of management of the supracondylar femur fracture by locking compression plate
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction of locking compression plate (LCP) has revolutionised the management of supracondylar fracture femur. Material & Methods: Prospective observational study carried out JMF ACPM Medical College on the patients having fracture distal femur between November 2015 to December 2017. Study done on 36 patients, (NEER’S Classification) age range of 18 to 70 years (irrespective of their sex), were subjected to fixation by locking compression plate after obtaining thorough written informed consent. Result: Functional evaluation of LCP by Neers criteria was excellent in 61.5% patient’s upto 50 years age and in 40% more than 50 years old. There was statistically no significant (p>0.05) difference of functional status of patients in between the age group of patients with distal femur fracture, which were stabilized by LCP. Locking compression plate is safe procedure for supracondylar femur fracture with excellent functional outcome and early clinical and radiological union with minimum complications.
