Complex distal femoral fracture treated with interfragmentary screws and medial buttress plating.

A woman in her 70s suffered a motor vehicle accident, resulting in an intraarticular, distal femoral fracture with a unique fracture pattern. A 3D-printed model was obtained using the preoperative CT scan for surgical planning. Anatomic reduction was achieved using a medial parapatellar approach and the fracture was fixed with a medial buttress plate and interfragmentary screws. After 18 months, the patient presented a fair Knee Society Score of 62.
