Abstract

30 patients with closed fracture lower end of femur were studied. The method used for fracture fixation was closed
or open reduction and internal fixation with locking compression plate. The duration of follow up ranged from 6
months to 24 months. 70% were males & 30%were females and they belonged to 17-75 year age group. All of them
underwent distal end femur fracture operated with locking compression plate. Post operatively, they were evaluated
for knee stability, subjective knee function, patient satisfaction and range of motions. This assessment was done
based on Neer Knee Scoring Scale. In our study the score was Excellent (>85) in 60% patients, Good (70-85) in
36.66% patients, Fair (55-69) in 3.33% patients and Poor (<55) in 0% patients.
