INTERNAL FIXATION FOR SUPRACONDYLAR FRACTURES OF THE FEMUR IN THE ELDERLY PATIENT



Download PDF

Abstract

1. A method of internal fixation for the supracondylar fracture of the femur in the elderly patient is presented.

2. The fixation obtained allows the unsupported use of the limb and early partial weightbearing. Convalescence is thereby considerably shortened.

3. The disappointing results of internal fixation previously reported can be largely related to poor methods of fixation.
