The Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS) offers secure internal fixation for distal femur fractures. This minimally invasive technique demonstrates high fracture consolidation rates and a low need for bone grafting.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Trauma surgery
  • Biomedical engineering

Context:

  • Distal femur fractures require effective stabilization.
  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) principles are advancing orthopedic treatments.
  • Percutaneous fixation offers advantages over traditional open approaches.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS) for distal femur fractures.
  • To assess fracture consolidation, complication rates, and functional outcomes using the LISS.
  • To determine the suitability of LISS for complex articular distal femur fractures.

Summary:

  • A multicenter study involved 112 patients with 116 distal femur fractures treated with the LISS.
  • Percutaneous screw fixation provided angular stability, avoiding large fracture zone exposures.

  • A 93% follow-up rate showed 96% fracture consolidation at 12 months, with minimal need for bone grafting.

    • Impact:

    • The LISS demonstrates a secure and effective option for treating a wide range of distal femur fractures.
    • Minimally invasive techniques like LISS can reduce surgical trauma and improve patient recovery.
    • This study supports the LISS as a valuable tool in the orthopedic surgeon's armamentarium for complex fractures.
