Background: To evaluate the functional outcome of locking compression  plate for fractures around knee joint (Distal 1/3rd femur or proximal 1/3rd tibia) Methods: This prospective functional out-come study has been conducted on This prospective study has been conducted on 50 patients with Distal 1/3rd femur and 50 patients with  proximal 1/3rd tibia Results: According to Modified Mehrotra’s Criteria, the excellent (44.00%) and fair (42.00%) and (14.00%) had poor result Conclusion: Locking compression plate is the optimal tool for many supracondylar fractures of femur and proximal tibia fractures. It provides rigid fixation, where a widening canal, thin cortices and frequently poor bone stock make fixation difficult. Keywords: Femur, Tibia, Locking plate, MIPO, Outcome.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional outcome of locking compression plate for fractures around knee joint (Distal 1/3<sup>rd</sup> femur or proximal 1/3<sup>rd</sup> tibia).</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> This multicentric prospective functional out-come study has been conducted in the department of orthopedics, Barmer medical college and hospital, Barmer, Rajasthan and department of orthopedics, Pacific institute of medical sciences, Udaipur, Rajasthan. A total of 90 patients were studied, out of which 60 patients were with fracture distal femur and 30 patients were with proximal tibia fractures.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Distal femur fractures pose a surgical challenge to the orthopaedic surgeons. Multiple implants are available but locking compression plate is a good implant to be used in this anatomical location. LCP may reduce the tendency of varus collapse and offers higher stability than other implants. Aim of our study was to review functional outcome, union time and complications in distal femoral fractures treated with distal femoral locking plate without C-arm imaging modality.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 25 patients with closed or open type grade1 and 2 distal femur fractures managed with open method locking compression plate without C-arm image. Pritchett rating system was used for evaluation of outcome.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> All patients in this series united well with an average time of 13 weeks with minimal complications. Functional outcome was excellent in 4 patients, good in 19 patients, fair in 2 patients.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Open reduction and locking compression plate is suitable implant available for fixation of distal femur fractures with minimal complications. Even it can be done without C-arm. Surgical technique and proper anatomical reduction and alignment are the key for good results.</p>

Proximal tibial fractures, one of the commonest intra articular fractures. Incidence of these fractures is increasing due to road trafc accidents. At the same time surgical treatment options for the same are also being modied continuously. Any fracture around the weight bearing joint like knee joint is of paramount importance as it would result in signicant morbidity. Hence the treatment of proximal tibial fractures has become a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeons. Methods: During the study period 31 patients were treated with locking compression plate on lateral side through anterolateral approach for varying types of tibial plateau fractures. Out of 31, 28 patients were available at nal follow up. The functional and radiological outcome assessed with Rasmussen scoring system. At the end of study stability of the knee joint assessed with standard stability tests. Results: Most of the patients were sustained injury following major road trafc accidents and most of them were males. At nal follow up the functional outcome was excellent in 65 % of patients and good to fair in 35% of patients. No patient had poor functional outcome, though 10% of patients had poor radiological outcome. At the end of study 3 patients had posterior laxity, 2 patients had lateral meniscal injury and 4 patients had varus laxity. Conclusion: The functional outcome of tibial plateau fractures treated with single lateral locking compression plate was satisfactory in all our patients. All patients had acceptable clinical outcome though few patients had poor radiological outcome. We found 32% of patients with instability at the end of our study
