Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the rate of radiographic union between retrograde femoral nailing & distal femoral locking plate fixation in distal femur fractures. To assess post-operative mechanical alignment, including coronal, sagittal between the two techniques Functional outcomes using fully patient-reported score Lower Extremity Functional score (LEFS) & SF-12 at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, & 12 months. To analyze the incidence of complications such as infection, implant failure, & need for reoperation. To assess differences in operative parameters such as time, blood loss, & fluoroscopy usage.
