Abstract:
The use of nail-plate constructs has been suggested for treatment of elderly patients with distal femur fractures to facilitate stable fixation and early ambulation. In this article, we describe a technique to link the 2 implants without the use of fluoroscopic "perfect-circle" technique. This technique can be used with implants from different manufacturers.
