    4.5/5 mm Locking Condylar Femoral Plate uses, sizes • Vast Ortho
    Distal lateral femoral condylar locking plates are pre-contoured anatomical implants used for rigid fixation of fractures at the lower end of the thighbone, particularly suited for comminuted or periarticular fractures. Often utilizing locking screws (4.5mm or 5.0mm) for stability in osteoporotic bone, these plates are typically applied via a lateral approach to allow for early knee mobilization. 
    Key Aspects of Distal Lateral Femoral Plates 
    • Anatomical Design: The plates are pre-contoured to fit the lateral distal femur, reducing the need for manual bending.
    • Fixation Technique: These are usually locking compression plates (LCP) or condylar buttress plates, utilizing locking screws in the distal fragment to create a stable "fixed-angle" construct.
    • Approach: The lateral approach involves a skin incision over the lateral femoral shaft, traversing the iliotibial band and elevating the vastus lateralis.
    • Indications: Used for supra-condylar fractures, intra-articular fractures (type 33C), periprosthetic fractures, and non-unions.
    • Medial Augmentation: In highly comminuted cases, a lateral plate alone may fail; a second medial plate is sometimes used to improve stability. 
    Surgical Procedure Considerations 
    • Reduction: Direct or indirect reduction techniques are used, with Kirschner wires often used for temporary fixation.
    • Screw Placement: Screws must be placed carefully to avoid penetrating the patellofemoral or femorotibial joints.
    • Minimally Invasive Option: Modern locking plates allow for minimally invasive plating (MIPPO) to protect local blood supply and soft tissues. 
    Common Complications 
    • Varus Deformity: A common complication if the plate is not perfectly seated, particularly with older condylar buttress plates.
    • Knee Stiffness: Inability to achieve 90° flexion, reported in some cases with specific plate applications.
    • Non-union/Loosening: Possible in severely comminuted fractures or poor bone quality.
