Özet

Aim: The most common type of distal femur physis fractures is Salter-Harris type 2 (SH type 2). These fractures have high complication rates and can cause a significant loss of function. Anatomical reduction is important in treatment. In this study, we aimed to compare two methods commonly used in SH type 2 fractures, cross pinning, and two parallel screw fixation methods using the finite element method.
