Abstract

 Road traffic accidents, sports injuries, and falls are common causes of trauma for distal femur fractures, particularly in elderly patients. For these fractures, locking plates are a frequently utilized surgical technique because they offer stability and encourage fracture healing, enabling patients to restore function and early mobility. When compared to conventional compression plates, locking plates offer superior construction and superior stability over screwlocked, fixed-angled construction. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the shortterm effects of locking compression plate treatment on pain reduction, knee joint range of motion (ROM), and radiological results following distal femur fractures
