Clinical Outcome of Supracondylar Femoral Fractures Managed with Locking Plate Osteosynthesis in a Rural Hospital: A Prospective Longitudinal Study| Chapter 7 | Current Innovations in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 10

 The study's aim was to evaluate the dispassionate and functional outcomes of distal leg part fractures treated accompanying locking plate osteosynthesis, as well as the risks involved.  This anticipated study included 45 patients accompanying supracondylar femur fractures treated surgically accompanying locking plate osteosynthesis at our institute between June 2016 and June 2018. The functional effect was assessed using Neer's cut. Patients were followed up on all 12 weeks, with the last follow-up happen at the end of a year.45 cases were studied i.e. 36 men and 9 females with a mean age of 45.46 ±17.55SD age. The most common cause of harm (71.1%) was a road accident, and the AO categorization was used to classify fracture arrangement, with type "33 C3" (26.67%) being the most universal. 39 patients (86.66%) received distal leg part locking plate osteosynthesis, while 6 patients (13.33%) taken external fixation that was later convinced to plate osteosynthesis after infection control. Knee inflexibility (17.78%) was the most common complexity, with 6 patients (13.33%) experience shortening. Neer's scoring was used to reckon patient outcomes, accompanying 31 (68.89%) patients having wonderful to good outcomes, 9 having fair effects, and 5 having poor effects.  The majority of patients revealed a significant liberal rise in Neer's outcome scores, making the distal femoral locking plate an appropriate option for gettv adequate fixation in distal femoral fractures.
