I have gotten myself completely confused and really need some assistance. The patient was diagnosed with the following:
A comminuted fracture involves the right distal femur at the metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction, just proximal to the femoral component of the right knee arthroplasty.
Nothing is mentioned about this being through the medial or lateral condyle, as is noted when locating distal femur--so would this be a fracture through the shaft of the femur even though he states distal? Also, it appears this does not at all involve the prosthetic other than being directly above the component. Once I feel confidant in my diagnosis I can easily move forward with my procedure.
