Background: The choice of distal femur locking plate in distal femur fractures has been a topic of debate. This study was performed to evaluate theresults of distal femur locking plate in distal femur fractures.

Material and Methods: A prospective randomized study of 30 patients with distalfemur fracture was conducted at Department of Orthopaedics, Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Mullana(Ambala), Haryana from January 2020 to July 2021 and followed up from 6months to 18 months for a minimum of 6 months duration.

Implants used: The distal femur locking compression plate. Classification system: AO Classification.

Results & Observations: Clinical and functional outcomes were assessed using Rasmussens functional knee score.Complications of fractures and operative treatment were assessed. The results of entire study group showed 18 excellent, 10 good, 1 fair and 1 poor.

Conclusion: We observed and recommend that the distal femur LCP is an optimal tool of good fixation for fractures of distal femur.
