Equivalent mortality and complication rates following periprosthetic distal femur fractures managed with either lateral locked plating or a distal femoral replacement

Injury Dec 06, 2017

Hoellwarth JS, et al. - A comparison was performed between locked lateral plating (LLP) and distal femoral arthroplasty (DFR) patients focusing on 90- and 365-day mortality, mobility maintenance, and further surgery. As per findings, treatment should be guided by fracture location, remaining bone stock, and patient’s prior mobility and current comorbidities. Researchers observed that 90- and 365-day mortality, final mobility, and re-operation rate were not statistically different with LLP vs DFR management.
