Distal femoral fractures in elderly patients represent a major challenge in orthopedic trauma surgery due to their unique biological and functional characteristics.These injuries are mostly caused by low-energy trauma such as a fall from standing height, and the underlying cause is often osteoporosis.
Statistics show that the one-year mortality rate after distal femoral fracture in the elderly is approximately 13.4%, and some studies report even higher rates.Surgical intervention within 48 hours after injury has been shown to significantly reduce mortality, regardless of the patient's baseline health condition.
In global orthopedic practice, the management of distal femoral fractures in elderly patients is increasingly discussed under the keywords "femoral condyle fracture fixation," "osteoporotic fracture management," and "titanium locking plate system." As a CE-certified orthopedic implant manufacturer in China, CZMEDITECH provides high-precision implants for hospitals and distributors across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
In the elderly, distal femoral fractures are usually caused by low-energy mechanisms such as a fall from standing height. Contributing factors include:
Osteoporosis: Reduced bone mineral density increases bone fragility, making fractures likely even with minimal trauma.
Fall risk: Age-related impairments in balance, muscle strength, vision, and reflexes increase the likelihood of falls.
Comorbidities: Chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease further compromise mobility and balance.
Type I: Undisplaced fracture
Type II: Displaced fracture
Type III: Displaced with prosthesis failure
Type A: Extra-articular fractures
Type B: Partial articular fractures
Type C: Complete articular fractures
Considered for undisplaced fractures or patients unfit for surgery. Involves brace or cast immobilization with strict weight-bearing restrictions.
Rehabilitation to restore range of motion, muscle strength, and overall function after adequate healing.
Preferred for displaced or unstable fractures. Includes lateral locking plates and dual-plate fixation techniques.
In regions such as Indonesia, Mexico, and the Middle East, the use of dual locking plate fixation for osteoporotic distal femoral fractures has become a preferred technique due to improved biomechanical stability and early mobilization outcomes.CZMEDITECH's products, including the Distal Femoral Lateral Locking Plate DCA24, have been successfully applied in international hospitals through.
The CZMEDITECH Distal Femoral Locking Plate System offers advanced stability for osteoporotic bone, ensuring early mobilization and reduced complication rates. Engineered with high-strength titanium alloy and precision anatomic contouring, it provides enhanced fixation in complex distal femoral fractures, supporting optimal outcomes for elderly patients.
With over 2,000 hospitals served and exports to 50+ countries, CZMEDITECH ensures consistent quality through ISO 13485 and CE certifications.The Distal Femoral Locking Plate System exemplifies CZMEDITECH's commitment to advanced trauma fixation and elderly fracture care.
