Outcome of Distal Femoral Fracture Treated with Locking Plate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the outcome of distal femoral fracture treated with locking plate. Study Design:Prospective study Place and Duration: Conducted at Orthopaedic Unit Ayub Medical Teaching Institute, Abbottabad for one year duration from 1stJanuary 2020 to 31st December 2020. Methods: Total 90 patients of both genders were presented in this study.Patients were aged between 18-80 years of age. Patients’ detailed demographics including age, sex and body mass index were recorded after taking informed written consent. All the patients had distal femoral fracture treated with locking plate. Radiological assessment was done. Mean union time and complications associated to procedure were examined.Functional outcomes were analyzed according to the Flyn’s criteria. Follow-up was taken at 6 months postoperatively. Complete data was analyzed by SPSS 24.0 version. Results:There were 58 (64.4%) patients were males and 32 (35.6%) were females. Mean age of the patients were 42.61±12.88 years with mean BMI 27.65±9.56 kg/m2. According AO/OTA classification 55 (61.1%) had A1, A2 fracture was among 18 (20%) cases and the rest were 17 (18.9%) had A3. 62 (68.9%) fractures were caused due road traffic accidents, falling from height were among 17 (18.9%) cases and 11 (12.2%) cases were due to sports. Right side fracture was the most common side of fracture among 54 (60%). Mean union time among patients was 5.16±1.27 months.According to Flyn’s criteria, 38 (42.2%) cases had excellent results, 32 (35.6%) patients had good, fair results were among 16 (17.8%) cases and poor results were among 4 (4.4%) cases. Complications were delayed union, stiffness, varus deformityand non union observed among all cases. Conclusion: We concluded in this study that the locking plate for the treatment of distal femoral fractures was effective in terms of good results with fewer complications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
