Comparing Intramedullary Nailing Versus Locked Plating in the Treatment of Native Distal Femur Fractures: Is One Superior to the Other?

Jaclyn M. Jankowski et al.

Summary: The systematic review comparing outcomes of native distal femur fractures treated via intramedullary nailing versus locked plating revealed no significant differences in union rate, malalignment, time to union, average arc of motion, or complication rates necessitating a return to the operating room. Therefore, until higher level randomized data is available, either intramedullary nailing or locked plating are acceptable methods of treatment for native distal femur fractures.
