A total of 78 patients meeting the eligibility criteria will be recruited. Participants will be assigned to one of two treatment groups: Group A will undergo fixation using the hybrid Ilizarov technique, while Group B will undergo fixation using a locking plate technique.\n\nPatients will undergo clinical and radiological assessment during follow-up. Functional outcome will be assessed using the Rasmussen Knee Functional Score. Radiographs will be obtained at regular follow-up intervals to evaluate fracture healing and union.
