Incision Technique

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.

Rare Association

Fractures of the supracondylar and intercondylar region of the distal femur usually result from high velocity injury that is uncommonly associated with violation of the integrity of the extensor mechanism. The consequences of missed quadriceps injury associated with a distal femur fracture are devastating. The present case report illustrates the importance of recognizing the rare association of quadriceps tear with distal femoral fractures, an appropriate surgical approach to repair the tear as well as fixation of fracture, and a protocol of postoperative rehabilitation to achieve a successful outcome.
