Summary

This study looks at two different surgical methods for fixing a broken bone just above the knee (distal femur fracture). The goal is to see which method helps the bone heal without needing another surgery. About 100 adults who need surgery for this type of break will be randomly assigned to receive either a carbon fiber plate or a standard metal plate with a nail. The researchers will track how well the bones heal and how much pain patients report.
