• TITLE: A Novel Method to Fix Type C3 Distal Femur Fractures with Bone Defect Loss Using “Harms Cage”

  ABSTRACT: A case of compound C3 distal femur fracture with 12 cm bone defect. After thorough debridement, the Harms cage was used to reconstruct the medial column and the fracture was fixed with the locking distal femur plate laterally. The Harms cage prevents the cantilever effect and eliminates the need for medial plating. This avoids another medial incision and preserves medial biology. At 18 months’ follow-up, plain radiographs demonstrated full reconstruction of the medial column with good range of motion at the knee joint. This technique avoids the need of dual plating in these fractures with good results.
