Background: Distal femur fractures are challenging in surgical management as the outcome is crucial for restoring the biomechanical stability and longitudinal axis of the leg and function of the knee joint.
Methods: A retrospective review of all distal femoral fractures treated in a level I trauma center over a decade was performed. The radiographs were reviewed for fracture entity, osseous healing, implant failure, mechanical axis, and degenerative joint changes.
