Abstract:  Subtrochanter fracture is still a health problem due to the difficulty of treatment and the high incidence of non-union and malunion after treatment. Limited Contact-Dynamic Compression Plate (LC-DCP), an implant designed to be used in distal femur fractures, is reported as an alternative for the treatment of subtrochanter fractures. This study was aimed to obtain the functional outcome of neglected subtrochanter fractures using reversed distal femur LC-DCP at Bhayangkara Hospital Manado. This was a retrospectoive study using the medical record and by-phone evaluation of patients with neglected subtrochanter that were managed with the reversed distal femur LC-DCP in 2018-2019 at Bhayangkara Hospital, Manado. Patients were evaluated with the Harris Hip Score (HHS). The results showed that there were 6 patients who met the inclusion criteria and could be contacted by phone. The HHS results showed 6 patients of poor category (mean score of 25.6) at 3 months after surgery; 3 patients of poor category and 3 patients of fair category (mean score of 66.4) at 6 months after surgery; and 4 patients of good category and 2 patients of excellent category (mean score of 89.9) at 12 months after surgery. In conclusion, the functional outcomes of the patients were poor category at 3 months after surgery, poor to fair at 6 months after surgery, and good to excellent at 12 months after surgery.Keywords: functional outcome, neglected subtrochanter fracture, reversed distal femur limited contact – dynamic compression plate, Harris hip score Abstrak: Fraktur subtrokanter masih merupakan masalah kesehatan karena sulitnya penanganan dan tingginya angka kejadian non-union dan malunion setelah penanganan.

The study analyzed 20 cases of fracture shaft of hummers treated with Dynamic Compression Plate. There was a male preponderance in our study 17 (85%). Almost Also 13% of patients treated by functional bracing end up with cosmetically unacceptable angulation of>15%, whereas all operative procedures achieve good alignment of the fractured bone was observed. The rate of union in Plate osteosynthesis is 93% and the time of union is 16 - 20 weeks, and more than 90% united in 18 weeks and 7% went for non union.

Background: The optimal method of humeral shaft fracture fixation remains debatable. With the dramatic success of intramedullary fixation for fractures of the femur and tibia, there was speculation that IM-ILN might be more appropriate for humeral shaft fractures than DCP. Objectives: To compare the fixation of fracture shaft of humerus with interlocking nail and dynamic compression plate in terms of duration of operating time, amount of blood loss, rate of infection, pain at the fracture site, time to achieve union, functional outcome (DASH score) and complications of surgery. Methods: This was randomised control trial study. All patients with fractures of shaft of humerus that met the criteria for operative interventions presenting to the Department of Orthopaedics, BPKIHS in the study period and giving informed consent were included in the study. Sample size was taken 30 in each group. Results: The usual mode of injury in both the groups were road traffiic accident followed by fall from height, work place injury. The operating time for nailing was 100 mins with standard deviation of 11.24 while that of humerus plating was 90.25 with standard deviation 15.6.The mean blood loss in nail group was 148.75 with standard deviation of 36.70 while that in plate group was 205.00 with standard deviation of 45.60. Post operative hospital stay was similar in both groups with mean stay of 4.5 days. DASH was significantly higher in plating group at 6,12,18 and 24 weeks follow up. This showed better functional outcome in nailing group. Conclusion: Dynamic compression plating is better than interlocking nail for fracture shaft of humerus.

Background: Distal femur fractures account for an estimated 6% of all femur fractures. Our study aims at evaluating the functional and radiological outcome in distal femur fractures treated with locking compression plate (DF-LCP).Methods: Patients undergoing LCP were assessed postoperatively both functionally and radiologically. Oxford Knee Score was used to assess the functional outcome. With a maximum score of 48, a score of more than 41 is scaled as excellent, 34 to 40 as good functional status, 27 to 33 as fair and score less than 27 as poor functional result.Results: Extra-articular fractures were the commonest (66.7%) type of fractures [simple-6.7%; metaphyseal wedge-20%; metaphyseal complex-40%] followed by complete articular fractures (26.7%) [Simple articular metaphyseal comminution-16.7%; metaphyseal and intra-articular comminution-10%] and partial articular fractures (6.7%) [Medial condyle-3.3%; coronal plane-3.3%]. Most of them had right sided femur injury (66.7%) and had history of fall (70%). Radiologically, 90% exhibited no complications and had united appropriately. Functionally the mean oxford knee score was 41.53±1.69 which ranged from a score of 38 to a maximum of 44. Highest proportion i.e., 63.3% had excellent outcome followed by good functional outcome and none showed fair or poor outcomes.Conclusions: LCP has shown very good radiological and functional outcomes with hundred percent union of the distal femur fractures. Hence it can be used successfully in distal femur 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>

Introduction: The human forearm serves an important role in upper extremity function, facilitating placement of the hand in space, thus helping to provide the upper extremity with its unique mobility Fractures involving the bones of forearm present unique problem not encountered with fractures of other long bones. Objective: To evaluate and compare the outcomes of locking compression plate (LCP) with limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP) for the treatment of adult diaphyseal both bone forearm fractures. Material and Methods: This study conducted in the Department of orthopedics, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from January 2018 to December 2020 included 20 patients with 40 fractures in each group. Patients were selected randomly to receive either LCP (20 patients, 40 fractures) or LC-DCP (20 patients, 40 fractures). Operative time, callus formation, functional outcome and complications were recorded. Results: Mean operative time did not differ significantly in the LCP and LC-DCP group (71.25 and 75.70 minutes respectively) .There was some difference in callus formation and mean time to bone union between the two groups which was significant. However, overall functional outcome did not differ significantly between both the groups. One case had delayed union in the (LC-DCP) group while one patient in each group developed superficial infection. Conclusion: In this prospective study comparing LCP with LC-DCP, the outcomes were equal in terms of final functional outcomes and mean operating time but LCP showed slight advantage in terms of callus formation and mean time to bone union.
