No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To determine if Far Cortical Locking screws increase fracture healing rates at 3 months in Closed Distal Femur Fractures in adults when compared to Standard screw constructs.

Fracture healing at 3 months will be assessed via radiographic and clinical assessment of the fracture.

Null Hypothesis: There will be no difference in fracture healing at 3 months post-fixation between subjects treated with far cortical locking screw or standard screw fixation.
