The effect of surgeon-controlled variables on construct stiffness in lateral locked plating of distal femoral fractures
Abstract Background Nonunion following treatment of supracondylar femur fractures with lateral locked plates (LLP) has been reported to be as high as 21 %. Implant related and surgeon-controlled variables have been postulated to contribute to nonunion by modulating fracture-fixation construct stiffn...
