Official Title: Study of Locked Plates Versus Intramedullary Nails in Distal Femur Fractures: A Multicenter Randomized Trial Comparing IM Nails and Plate Fixation (S.O.L.V.E.D)

Brief Summary: This study looks at two (2) types of surgical treatments and hopes to answer the question, "which is the best way to surgically treat a distal femur fracture?" Both procedures being studied are standard of care (used routinely) and use FDA approved devices. All medical and surgical treatment will be the same for participants as non-participants.
