Distal femur fractures in Mumbai are not as
common as other types of fractures. Since the
knee bone is usually very strong in younger folk,
it takes a violent traumatic accident to cause a
fracture. On the other hand, for the elder adults
as the bone becomes weak they suffer a higher
risk of this injury. Though it is not as common
as other types of fracture, the distal femur
fracture can be critical as the fracture may
extend to the knee joint, the largest
weight-bearing joint in the body, shattering it
into pieces. This blog let us understand the
fracture from an anatomy point of view. Here we
discuss the symptoms, causes, diagnosis,
non-surgical and surgical treatment for distal
femur fracture. And then we will guide you to
the best orthopaedic surgeon in Mumbai for distal
femur fracture surgery. Read on --gt

Anatomy of Knee Joint Distal Femur The
distal femur is the trapezoidal-shaped bone that
is located at the bottom part of the thigh bone,
which is a single long bone running from the hip
to the knee. The bottom part of the knee joint
and the top part of the shin bone together are
covered by the patella to make up the knee joint.
They both are individually covered by articular
cartilage that acts as a cushion (tibia) helping
them glide over each other. This joint capsule
with the help of front muscles (quads) and back
muscles (hamstring) work together for all the
knee movements in our daily and athletic
activities.

Distal Femur Fractures Causes Symptoms As
mentioned the cause for distal femur fracture for
younger men happen to be high energy events like
vehicle accidents, car crashing or falling from a
greater height. In older adults since the bone
becomes fragile as they age, even regular falling
can break their distal femur. Pain, swelling and
bruising, tenderness to touch, and deformity are
the common symptoms of the fracture to the distal
femur which becomes apparent when the bone
breaks.

Distal Femur Fractures in Mumbai Types
Causes Since the fracture of this thigh bone is
usually due to trauma evet, vehicle accident or
car crash, there are multiple ways fracture can
happen. The bone may break straight across
(transversely) which may either extend into the
knee joint or femoral shaft making it difficult
to treat. Also, distal femur fracture can be
closed skin is intact and bone fracture happens
stays inside or opens where the broken bone may
stick out through the skin. The open distal femur
fracture does more damage to the surrounding
muscles and ligaments making it difficult to
treat for the orthopaedic surgeon.
