 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 LISS plate fixation for the treatment of severe comminuted fracture of lower limb long bone Of: Xuejun Min, Li Xiangmin Kan Yongliang [Abstract] [Objective] Invasive Stabilization System (less invasive stabilization system, LISS) fixation of distal femoral and proximal tibial fractures in clinical efficacy. [Method] March 2005 -2007 adopted on September LISS for distal femoral and proximal tibial fractures in 32 cases, including 13 cases of femur, tibia, 19 cases were observed fracture healing, complications, and knee function. [Results] 32 patients with mean follow-up 16.8 months, all fractures healing, the average time of 7.8 months. postoperative fracture alignment good fixation without loosening, failure and other complications, knee barrier. [Conclusion] LISS plate for distal femoral and proximal tibial fractures with traumatic small, reliable fixation, fracture healing time is short, less complications and good functional recovery of the knee. [Keywords:] LISS, femoral fractures, tibial fractures, internal fixation Lower extremity long bone fractures, especially comminuted distal femur and proximal tibia fracture treatment tricky. The traditional existence of trauma treatment, and easy fixation failure, poor healing of fractures, soft tissue complications and other disadvantages, often left knee dysfunction. With the development of internal fixation techniques, minimally invasive fixation system (less invasive stabilization system, LISS) increasingly used clinically, significantly improved the efficacy of lower extremity long bone fractures. hospital from March 2005 -2007 years September using LISS and distal femoral fractures proximal tibia of 32 cases, results were satisfactory, are as follows. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General Information The group of 32 patients, 23 males and 9 females, aged 21 to 63 years old, average 32.8 years old. Femoral fractures in 13 cases, 19 cases of tibial fractures, all fractur
