Calcaneal Plate Fixation of Distal Femoral Fractures

Open reduction and internal fixa­tion constitute the standard of care for management of displaced dis­tal femoral condylar fractures. The techniques most commonly used include conventional and locked plating with the primary goal of artic­ular surface congruency. However, a specific implant for the isolated medial femoral condyle fracture is lacking. We report the use of a cal­caneal plate as a novel technique for managing medial and lateral femoral condylar fractures.
