a Flowchart. The flowchart indicates how the patients were identified including the reasons for lost follow-ups. b Plating. A–D show X-ray and CT scanning of an AO 41 C3 fracture with varus malalignment in a 34-year-old female patient. Considering the distal femur shaft fracture, the injury may be considered as a “floating knee.” E–F show the same fracture fixated with locking plates. G–H demonstrate AP and lateral views 6 weeks later. c External fixation. A–D show X-ray and CT scanning of an AO 41 C1 fracture in a 33-year-old male patient. E–F show the same fracture following screw fixation of the articular surface and stabilization with external fixation. G–H demonstrate AP and lateral views 6 weeks later
