Distal Femoral Fracture Management

In situations where the lateral cortex or anteromedial cortex has been inadvertently fractured, the Two-Hole Osteotomy Support Plate Implant System can be utilized to help fixate these fractures. After proper soft tissue exposure and identification of the fracture it is recommended to close the prepared osteotomy before application of the plate. Apply the anatomically contoured two hole plate over the fracture site and secure it with two 4 mm x 30 mm titanium self-tapping cancellous screws. After successful application of the plate and screws re-open the osteotomy allowing compression at the fracture site.
