Abstract
Background: To evaluate the functional outcome of locking compression plate for fractures around knee joint (Distal 1/3rd femur or proximal 1/3rd tibia)
 Methods: This prospective functional out-come study has been conducted on This prospective study has been conducted on 50 patients with Distal 1/3rd femur and 50 patients with proximal 1/3rd tibia
 Results: According to Modified Mehrotra’s Criteria, the excellent (44.00%) and fair (42.00%) and (14.00%) had poor result
 Conclusion: Locking compression plate is the optimal tool for many supracondylar fractures of femur and proximal tibia fractures. It provides rigid fixation, where a widening canal, thin cortices and frequently poor bone stock make fixation difficult.
 Keywords: Femur, Tibia, Locking plate, MIPO, Outcome.
Highlights
In the modern world with the increased density of automobile traffic on roads and ever increasing number of road accidents, there is great increase in number and severity of fractures

A hinge joint at the exact level of automobile bumper is most commonly struck on its lateral side resulting in torn ligaments, sprains or fractures of either lower 1/3rd femur or upper 1/3rd leg bones, or both[1]
Summary
In the modern world with the increased density of automobile traffic on roads and ever increasing number of road accidents, there is great increase in number and severity of fractures. A hinge joint at the exact level of automobile bumper is most commonly struck on its lateral side resulting in torn ligaments, sprains or fractures of either lower 1/3rd femur or upper 1/3rd leg bones, or both[1]. Secondary bone healing occurs when relative stability is provided and strain (change in fracture gap / fracture gap) is kept between 2% and 10%.2. Primary bone healing occur when strain is kept to less than 2%. Since only a single plate is needed and the plate does not depend on a tight fit to the bone for stability, substantially less soft tissue dissection may be required, preserving the local blood supply and enhancing fracture healing.[4]
