Use of an Intramedullary Allogenic Fibular Strut Bone and Lateral Locking Plate for Distal Femoral Fracture with Supracondylar Comminution in Patients over 50 Years of Age.

Postoperative 3-month RUSFs were significantly better in the group that received the intramedullary allogenic fibular bone strut ( p = 0.021; Table 2 ), while postoperative 1-year RUSFs were slightly better in the group that received the intramedullary allogenic fibular bone strut with marginal significance ( p = 0.064; Table 2 ).The mean bone union period was 7.4 ± 2.2 months with no significant difference between groups ( Table 2 ).
