Background: Treatment of distal femur fracture is challenge and usually requires to be treated surgically. Complexity of fractures needs the treatment to be changed from simple extraarticular supracondylar types to intercondylar and metaphyseal comminuted types. The locking compression plate (LCP) possesses exclusive biomechanical function that depends on splinting and not on compression, leading to flexible stabilization, quick healing, and decreased bone resorption as blood supply is…

No category of fracture at this level seemed well suited for internal fixation, and sufficient fixation to eliminate the need for external support or to shorten convalescence was rarely attained, so functional recovery was slow in patients with Group II-A and Group III injuries.
