Core Tip	We recommend that orthopaedic surgeons have a good understanding of the Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS) principles, and endeavour to follow these principles when using the LISS to treat distal femur fractures. Improved outcomes with the LISS may be achieved by providing more in-service training and courses on the use of this system for orthopaedic surgeons.
