“…Distal femoral fractures continue to be a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. A number of treatment modalities for distal femur fractures have been reported in the literature, including dynamic condylar screw-plate (DCSPlates) (1)(2)(3)(4). Although many anatomic, morphologic, and radiologic studies have been carried out for femurs, as for all other bones of the skeletal system, we could not find any morphometric study useful for orthopedic surgeons wishing to understand DCS-Plate effects on the distal femur (5)(6)(7).…”

Th e Karadere segment of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is the easternmost part that ruptured during the 17 August 1999 İzmit earthquake (Mw 7.4). It has a diff erent orientation, at N65°E to other segments which have a nearly E-W trend, and lesser dextral displacement, with maximum 2.3 m in contrast with 5.2 m in the ruptured neighbouring western segment. Two palaeoseismological trenches, at Kazimiye and Karadere sites, were excavated on the central part of the Karadere segment to determine the timing of past earthquakes.Excavation of the Kazimiye site revealed the occurrence of fi ve past events since the 4 th century A.D., including the 1999 İzmit earthquake. Th e oldest event occurred aft er A.D. 231-407 and before A.D. 420-584 based on 14 C dating results. Th is event may correspond to either the A.D. 358 earthquake or the A.D. 554 historical earthquake. Th e younger three events predate 1999 and postdate A.D. 420-584. At the Karadere trench site, three past events, including the 1999 İzmit earthquake, were identifi ed. Th e penultimate event was observed on the trench wall and dated to be aft er A.D. 1298-1370. Th e older event is dated as before A.D. 1150-1261, which may correspond to one of the determined events in the Kazimiye trench. In summary, palaeoseismological data provide evidence for at least fi ve large earthquakes on the Karadere segment since A.D. 231-407, including the 1999 İzmit earthquake.

ABSTRACT… Background:Retrograde nailing for fracture of distal shaft of femur is common procedure but data about post-operative functional outcome in terms of knee range of motion, union and pain at 6 weeks, 6 months and 1 year follow-up is lacking. Objectives: The main aim of this study was to determine post-operative functional outcome after performing nailing in a retrograde fashion for distal disphyseal femoral fracture in terms of knee range of motion, pain and union at 6 weeks, 6 months and at least 1 year follow-up. Study Design: Descriptive case series. Setting: Orthopedics and Spine Centre, Ghurki Trust Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Period: 1 st July 2015 to Dec. 2016. Materials and Methodology: 140 patients of either sex and age with fractures of distal disphyseal femoral fracture and were operated using retrograde nailing were included in the study. All the data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 version. Results: 140 patients were included with mean age of 31.81± 7.117 ranged from 16 to 75 years of age.97 patients (69.3%) were male and remaining 43 patients (30.7%) were female. Pain was significantly decrease in all patients on Visual analogue scale. Mean union were 32.3 ± 5.3 weeks, Knee range of motion after last follow up were more than 120 0 in 126 patients. Conclusion: Retrograde Nailing for distal diaphyseal fractures is an excellent option with good functional outcome. It should always be considered while managing such fractures. Key words:Fractures, Distal Diaphyseal Femur, Retrograde Nail, Functional Outcome, Range of Motion.
