Background: Study of functional outcome of distal femur fractures treated with minimal invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) Methods: Hospital based Prospective intervantional study conducted on 30 Patients in the department of Orthopedics in hospitals attached to S.M.S Medical College and hospital. Results: In our study, 43.33% patients had excellent scoring and 26.67% patients had good results and 30.00% patients had fair result Conclusion: We concluded that three fourth patients functional outcome was excellent/ good. Keywords: Functional outcome, MI-PPO, Femur

Distal Femur fractures are rare, with the literature reporting a prevalence of 0.5% of all fractures1. Incidence rates of distal femur fractures have only been reported in a small number of studies2,3. Fractures of the distal femur is described as a classic fragility fracture, with the mean age of patients reported as 67.3 years and the vast majority of fractures (83%) occurring in women1,4.A study shows an incidence of distal femur fractures is 8.7/100,000/year. After the age of 60 years, a rapid increase in the incidence of distal femoral fractures was observed for both genderswith a considerable female predominance5. Nowdays, the surgical management of distal femur fracture is evolving. This review will discuss about the incision approach on distal femur approaches.

Background: The choice of distal femur locking plate in distal femur fractures has been a topic of debate. This study was performed to evaluate the results of distal femur locking plate in distal femur fractures. A prospective Material and Methods : randomized study of 30 patients with distal femur fracture was conducted at Department of Orthopaedics, JLN Medical College, Ajmer from January 2019 to July 2020 and followed up from 6 months to 18 months for a minimum of 6 months duration. The distal femur locking compres Implants used : sion plate. Classification system : AO Classication. Clinical and functional outcomes were assessed using Ra Results & Observations : smussen's functional knee score. Complications of fractures and operative treatment were assessed. The results of entire study group showed 18 excellent, 10 good, 1 fair and 1 poor. Conclusion : We observed and recommend that the distal femur LCP is an optimal tool of good xation for fractures of distal femur.
