Healing of a fracture with a significant bone gap in a supradiacondylar fracture of the distal femur treated with dual plating assisted by the use of Nanostructured Hydroxyapatite (NanoBone®) and Hydroxyapatite and Tricalcium Phosphate Blocks (TRIHA+
Distal femur fractures present a surgical challenge due to high rates of varus collapse, nonunion, and delayed healing. In cases of severe bone loss, achieving stable fixation while promoting osteogenesis remains critical. The combination of dual plating with advanced bone substitutes may improve outcomes in complex supracondylar fractures.
