Plating of Distal Femur Fractures by Far Cortical Locking Using MotionLoc Screws

Completed

Conditions studied: Fracture of Distal Femur

In brief

The objective of this study is to document callus formation and healing of fractures stabilized with locking plates utilizing modern MotionLoc screws that provide controlled axial micro-motion to actively promote fracture healing.
