Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the functional and radiological outcomes of fixation by using double plating technique versus replacement using distal femur tumor prothesis as a primary management for the distal femoral fractures in geriatric patients. The hypothesis was that the distal femoral replacement will yield better functional outcome and earlier rehabilitation and return to pre-injury level of activity.
