Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the short term functional clinical and radiological outcomes of retrograde nail versus double plating for distal femoral extra-articular and simple articular fractures with metaphyseal comminution.

Conditions

  • Distal Femoral Fractures
  • Extra-articular Distal Radius Malunions
  • Intramedullary

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Retrograde nail

Group A (20 patients) will be treated by retrograde nail Retrograde intramedullary nailing: The surgical approach will depend on the fracture type, either closed 'percutaneous trans-patellar approach,' or open 'medial Para-patellar approach,' which may be used in intra-articular fractures. After nail insertion, the knee will be taken through a full range of motion to ensure articular function.

PROCEDURE

Double plating

Group B (20 patients) will be treated double plating Double plating technique: It will be done through dual separate approach (medial and lateral) and fixation will be done using lateral locked distal femoral plate and medial buttress plate.
