Abstract:
Objective To summarize complications and early clinical effect of less invasive stabilization system and the femoral condylar support plates in treatment of AO type C distal femoral fractures. Methods We reviewed 46 patients who had internal fixation of AO type C distal femoral fractures. Of all 46 patients, 25 were with less invasive stabilization sys-tem and 21 were with femoral condylar support plates fixation. Comparative analysis was performed using intraoperative in-dex, postoperative complications and the Evanich score at follow-up. Results All 46 patients were followed up with a mean time of 19.6 months after surgery. The difference in incision length, blood loss, fracture healing time was significant between the 2 groups(P＜0.05)but not in the duration of operations and hospital stays(P>0.05). The statistical signifi-cance was also found in the total incidence of postoperative complications and the Evanich score at the last follow-up(P＜0.05). Conclusion Patients with less invasive stabilization system fixation had the characteristics of less trauma, shorter fracture healing time, less postoperative complications and better functional recovery compared with femoral condylar sup-port plates. Less invasive stabilization system had became an ideal internal fixation in treatment of AO type C distal femoral fractures.
