摘要：

Case: We present a case of 19-year-old male patient with right sided comminuted metadiaphyseal distal femur fracture. Fixation was done using distal femur condylar locking plate. Washers were used with the screws to shimming the plate to achieve the coronal alignment and prevent stress over the screws. 2-year follow-up shows good alignment, radiological union and functional outcome without any complications. "Shimming" a locking plate with washers helps to achieve the better coronal alignment in comminuted metadiaphyseal distal femur fractures with coronal malalignment. It reduces the stress over screws and prevents implant-related complications.
