Condition: Distal Femur Fractures · Sponsor: London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of conducting a larger study comparing single implant fixation (SIF) and dual implant fixation (DIF) for treating distal femur fractures (DFF) in older or compromised adults. It will also evaluate the safety and effectiveness of these treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can DIF improve patient outcomes compared to SIF in older or compromised adults? * How feasible is it to recruit and retain participants for this trial? Participants will: 1. Be randomly assigned to receive either SIF or DIF for their DFF treatment 2. Visit the clinic for follow-ups and assessments of their recovery and bone healing, including potential ultrasound imaging for detecting complications like non-union.
