Distal femur complex fractures in elderly patients treated with megaprosthesis: Results in a case series of 11 patients

Figure 1 Post-treatment Oxford Knee Scores (n = 2 years follow-up) are shown at 45 d postoperative, 3, 6, 12, mo, last follow-up (average 2 years post-surgery) after surgical treatment with distal femur replacement for acute fractures of the distal femur.

Figure 2 Post-treatment Visual Analogical Scale (n = 2 years follow-up) are shown at 45 d postoperative, 3, 6, 12 mo, last follow-up (average 2 years post-surgery) after surgical treatment with distal femur replacement for acute fractures of the distal femur.

Figure 3 Case example 1. A and B: 87-year-old female patient with distal femur fracture; C and D: Pre-existing osteoarthritis of the knee treated with a knee megaprosthesis.

Figure 4 Case example 2. A-D: 85-year-old male patient treated with distal femoral resection and implantation of fully porous coated metaphyseal sleeve (C and D) for acute fracture of the distal femur (A and B).
