Abstract
Introduction Distal femoral fractures are not as common as proximal femoral fracture in elderly, but they can lead to significant post-injury morbidity and mortality. These types of fractures have been treated mainly operatively over the last few decades. Elderly patients have poor bone quality and they do not tolerate a major open surgery. A less invasive stabilising system (LISS) plate overcomes many of these problems. We looked into the results of treatment with LISS plates and retrograde intramedullary (IM) femoral nail in osteoporotic distal femoral fracture treated in our hospital.
