Union can be successfully achieved in aged female patients with distal femur fractures treated with locking plates; however, the risks for nonunion and revision remain high. Patients with obesity and diabetes appear to be at an increased risk of nonunion (P=0.008 and 0.008, respectively). However, further research should be conducted with a prospective study or multivariate analysis and increased number of patients to reaffirm this data.
