What position is DFN surgery?
Position patient
Position the patient supine on the operating table. The knee of the injured leg should be flexed 70°–90°. A leg roll may be used or the lower leg be flexed by lowering part of the table to allow proper reduction and stabilization of the reduced fracture.

At what age does the distal femur growth plate close?
The epiphysis of the distal femur is present at birth. The physis at this location is responsible for 70% of the growth of the femur with almost 1 cm longitudinal growth per year. It closes between 14 and 17 in females and between 15 and 19 in males with a wide variability in age.
