Reverse distal femoral locking compression plate (DF-LCP), does it fit and how to fit on Asian's proximal femurs? A cadaveric study.

Reverse DF-LCP can fit most proximal femurs in the Asian population and can be used as an alternative implant when performed using an appropriate technique. However, as a relatively consistent mismatch was found at the distal part starting at the 8th hole, so if a plate is longer than 9 holes, the plate contouring should be considered.
