Abstract
Historically, mechanically unstable fractures of the distal femur have been difficult to treat. Problems such as varus collapse, malunion, and nonunion frequently resulted before fixed-angle plates and indirect reduction techniques were popularized. The Less Invasive Stabilization System(superscript ®), or LISS (Synthes), has been designed to combine these 2 approaches with the intended goals of achieving adequate stable fixation and early healing. Early clinical results for the femoral Less Invasive Stabilization System(superscript ®) have been promising. In Dec 2005, a 79 y/o female presented with an accident of falling down and right distal femoral fracture was diagnosed. The clinical results of patients with high energy, mechanically unstable fractures of the distal femur treated with the Less Invasive Stabilization System(superscript ®) were revealed in this article.
