Additional fixation of medial plate over the unstable lateral locked plating of distal femur fractures: A biomechanical study.

•A biomechanical study was performed to investigate the effect of additional medial plating over the unstable lateral plating of distal femur fracture.•The additional medial plating significantly increased the fracture stability in distal femur fractures fixed with the lateral locked plating.•This medial plate could be an alternative for distal femur fracture in the clinical situations where sufficient stability cannot be provided at the distal segment.
