Retrograde Nailing versus Locked Plating of Extra-Articular Distal Femoral Fractures: Comparison of 36 Cases

Abstract

The overall union disturbance rate in the LP group was higher than in the RN group. However, further analysis revealed that clinical outcome may largely depend on surgical technique rather than on the choice of implant. Therefore, correct rules (the same for every procedure) should be strictly adhered to, especially in the application of LP.
