- PURPOSE
To report the clinical outcome of polyaxial locking plate (Noncontact bridging (NCB) plate (Zimmer, Warsaw, Indiana)) for the treatment of distal femur fracture with minimal invasive percutaneous periosteal osteosynthsis (MIPPO) technique.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between February 2008 to April 2010, twenty six patients (11 men, 15 women), twenty eight cases diagnosed as distal femoral fractures are enrolled in this retrospective study. The mean age of the patients was 63 years (34 to 85) and the mean follow-up was 20.3 months (12 to 32). According to the AO/ASIF classification, 15 fractures were type A, 1 type B and 9 type C. And there were 3 periprsthetic fractures around knee. The analysis of the clinical and radiologic outcome were performed by Sanders functional evaluation scale and radiologic follow up after operation, respectively.
RESULTS
Among 28 cases, 25 cases united without additional operation. According to Sanders functional evaluation scale, there were 11 excellent, 9 good, 4 fair, 2 poor. As complications, there were 1 knee stiffness, 1 delayed union, 1 implant failure with refracture, 1 implant loosening. Three patients except one knee stiffness, underwent a second LISS plating using NCB plate and and bone grafting, resulting in a satisfactory final outcome.
CONCLUSION
Internal fixation using polyaxial locking plate with MIPO technique may be one of the most effective methods for the treatment of distal femoral fractures.

Abstract
- Pelvic nonunion is very difficult to treat. According to the nonunion site, anterior or posterior surgical approach should be used selectively. And if the nonunion site is located in both anterior and posterior, both anterior and posterior surgical approach should be used. We report a case of testicular necrosis after ilioinguinal approach used as a anterior approach to pelvis to treat pelvic nonunion developed as a result of unstable pelvic ring injury.
