The Role Of Dynamic Condylar Screw In The Management Of Fractures Of The Distal End Of Femur

Abstract

A series of 25 cases of supracondyar and intercondylar fractures of femur were treated with Dynamic condylar screw and reviewed after surgery. The technique involved open reduction and internal fixation with lag screw of appropriate length and 95* angled plate for supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of femur. Out of 25, 12 cases showed excellent results, 9 have good results while as 2 each have fair and poor results. Average time taken for union was 12.6 weeks and main complications were knee stiffness and loss of length (<1.2 cm). So it was found that dynamic condylar screw is an effective and technically undemanding method for treatment of supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of femur.
