Synopsis
40 patients with distal femoral fractures (osteoporotic or periprosthetic) were randomized to undergo fixation with either a polyaxial locking plate (Polyax; BIOMET) or first-generation locking plate (LISS; DePuy/SYNTHES). The purpose of the study was to compare the union rates and clinical outcomes between the two plate designs. The results indicated comparable union rates and clinical outcomes b...
