Femoral surgical guide planning with Materialise 3-matic software. a shows the first step guides with additional “feet” to allow proper bone contact and high accuracy in anteromedial view. Drill pins are inserted through these guides and define the fragment in space. Second step connection guides were slid over these drill pins consecutively. They were slimmer and allowed plate placement, as displayed anteromedial view (b) and lateral view (c). To connect the proximal and distal second step guide, a reduction/connection guide was used in-between (blue arrow)
