Far Cortical Locking Fixation of Distal Femur Fractures is Dominated by Shear at Clinically Relevant Bridge Spans.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Far cortical locking (FCL) constructs have been shown to increase axial interfragmentary displacement while limiting shear and have been specifically recommended in the treatment of distal femur fractures. However, there is no available data regarding their mechanical behavior within the range of bridge spans typically used for comminuted distal femur fractures. This biomechanical study of distal femur locked plate fixation assessed 4 methods of diaphyseal fixation for associated axial and shear displacement at bridge spans typically used in clinical practice. METHODS:Distal femur locking plates were used to bridge simulated fractures in femur surrogates with 4 different methods of diaphyseal fixation (bicortical locking, bicortical nonlocking, near cortical locking, and FCL). Axial and shear displacement were assessed at 5 different bridge spans for each fixation method. RESULTS:Diaphyseal fixation type was associated with the amount of shear (P = 0.04), but not the amount of axial displacement (P = 0.39). Specifically, FCL constructs demonstrated greater shear than bicortical locking (median 4.57 vs. 2.94 mm, P = 0.02) and bicortical nonlocking (median 4.57 vs. 3.41 mm, P = 0.02) constructs. CONCLUSIONS:Unexpectedly, FCL constructs demonstrated greater shear than bicortical locking and nonlocking constructs and similar axial displacement for all fixation methods. Bridge span had a dominant effect on displacement that interacted negatively with more flexible FCL diaphyseal fixation. Potentially interactive construct features are best studied in concert. Given the complexity of these relationships, computational modeling will likely play an integral role in future mechanotransduction research.
