Lateral locked plating for distal femur fractures by low-energy trauma: what makes a difference in healing?

ConclusionsOur findings suggest that complications related to increased healing time and fixation construct are not infrequent and ongoing problems in managing low-energy distal femur fractures. Specifically, plate-screw density at the fracture site has a significant influence on healing time in these fractures.
