Locking Plates for Distal Femur Fractures - a Multicenter Case Review

NCT04008940 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2025-09-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In order to assess the rate and mode of failure cases observed in patients with distal femur fractures treated with a distal femur plates, anonymized radiographs from those patients will be collected retrospectively.

All available images will reviewed by an expert review board in regards to fracture classification, implant and surgery details, quality of initial reduction and plate positioning as well as the occurrence of mechanical complications and the outcome in terms of fracture healing (if available). Additionally, age and gender as basic demographical data will be collected in a de-identified way..

Conditions

  • Distal Femur Fracture

Interventions

DEVICE

Distal femur plates

By assessing the rate and mode of mechanical failures we aim to identify risk factors for mechanical failures among the analysed plate types. This, finally, is depending on the overall number of cases and number of failure cases.
