myAO Editor’s Pick on complex distal femur intraarticular fracture |
In this month’s Editor’s Pick, myAO is featuring the winning case of the myAO Trauma competition. We thank all the competition participants for sharing their most challenging and interesting cases and for their dedication in always providing feedback and support to their peers. Now, we invite you to review the case that generated the most engagement from the myAO community, which was submitted by Kashyap Ardeshana from India. This is a challenging case of a 58-year-old farmer presenting with a complex distal femur intra-articular fracture following a fall from a 3-4 foot height. The patient had pre-existing knee pain, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis, complicating the management. Treatment included fixation and bone grafting through a medial para-patellar approach. The post-operative follow-up revealed successful healing and mobility improvement. We invite you to review this case, engage with it by applauding or sharing your comments and congratulate the winner.
