Operative treatment of supracondylar-Condylar Fractures of the Femur

Abstract

The previous reports about Supracondylar-Condylar Fracture of the femur which extends to articular surfaces revealed poor results in general, regardless of the methods of treatment. But those results are thought to be much alleviated if they are treated according to the principles of ASIF. Fifteen cases of Supracondylar-condylar fractures of the femur from 13 patients were treated by open reduction and rigid internal fixation during last 3 years at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Early mobilization of knee joint was permissible in most of the cases without loss of fixation or other complications during convalescence Subsequently, greatifying results were obtained as observed in varying period of follow up days.
