Abstract

With a prevalence of approximately 0.4%, distal femoral fractures are a rare entity. Nevertheless, due to the high mortality rates, which are comparable to proximal femoral fractures, these fractures are highly important. The clinical symptoms are often quite striking. In combination with preoperative computed tomography (CT) and if necessary, supplemented by CT angiography, the morphological situation can be assessed and the decision making facilitated. There are several different treatment options and the appropriate one should be selected for each individual case. The use of external fixation of the complete knee joint in the sense of damage control surgery, is useful. For definitive treatment retrograde intramedullary nailing and locking plates with angle stable screws are the main options. Modern angle stable and anatomically preformed implants enable surgical treatment using minimally invasive approaches to protect the soft tissues, with a better overall outcome.
