Immediate Weight-bearing for Distal Femur Fractures Fixed With a Lateral Locking Plate Is Associated With Decreased Short-term Complications Without Increased Failure Rates

Immediate weight-bearing after lateral locking plate fixation for distal femur fractures is associated with fewer early postoperative complications compared to RWB. WBAT did not increase the rate of fixation failure, malunion, or nonunion.
