Abstract
Fractures of distal Femur are complex Injuries which test the skill of the surgeon because of the comminution, and involvement of knee joint. A stable fixation with anatomical Reconstruction of the articular surface will ensure a good functional outcome with early union of the fracture with good alignment and a good range of motion. In this study we have compared the results of treating distal femoral fractures with Condylar Buttress Plate in 15 cases versus Locking Compression Plate in 15 patients during the period of June 2009 to January 2012.Locking Compression plate (Angle Stable Contruct) provides better stability ,prevents varus collapse and Implant Failure resulting in a better functional outcome.
