Does far cortical locking improve healing for management of distal femur fractures, compared to standard locked plating? We discussed the findings from the randomized control trial entitled “Far Cortical Locking Versus Standard Constructs for Locked Plate Fixation in the Treatment of Acute, Displaced Fractures of the Distal Femur” by Dr. Kelly Lefaivre and colleagues from the Canadian Orthopaedic Trauma Society in the October 2, 2024 edition of the JBJS. This was a multi-center international randomized control trial performed across 16 centers on adult patients with AO type 33A and 33C fractures. This technology has been around for a while, but these are some long-awaited results so tune in to find out more.
