  • Title: [The DCS plate osteosynthesis of the distal femur].
    Author: Kunze K.
    Journal: Kongressbd Dtsch Ges Chir Kongr; 2001; 118():367-70. PubMed ID: 11824278.
    Abstract:
    The DCS is an implant to be used only in certain situations. It offers solutions when the medullar cavity is blocked by implants in the proximal femur, and in case of pathological fractures, where it is necessary to remove all cancerous tissue and to reinstate the stability of the bone through compound osteosynthesis. The DCS is absolutely necessary when there is no possibility to reconstruct the condyles with closed procedures and has the advantage of anatomical reconstruction. In the case of partly supracondylar fractures, the kneepoint is not tampered with, and by subcutaneous technique, the operation is less traumatic.
