Combination of anatomical locking plate and retrograde intramedullary nail in distal femoral fractures: comparison of mechanical stability.

CONCLUSION: Thanks to its high mechanical strength and early mobilization capability, distal femoral anatomical locking plate and IM nail combination might be a choice of treatment in complicated osteoporotic or distal femoral fractures from high-energy trauma in young adults.
