摘要
Surgical treatment of periarticular and intra-articularfractures of the distal femur poses a significant challenge to the orthopedic surgeon. The primary goal of surgical treatment remains: restoration of the articular surface to the femoral shaft, while maintaining enough stability and alignment to enable early range of motion and rehabilitation. With appropriate surgical planning, these injuries can be managed with a variety of methods and techniques, while taking into account patients' functional goals, fracture characteristics, health comorbidities, bone quality, and risk of nnalunion and nonunion.
