ABSTRACT
Supracondylar fracture of the femur is not as common as the shaft fracture. There is wide range of potential complication in the treatment of these fractures and the method of the treament and the evaluation of it's result is variable and remains controversial. Until 1960, we believed conservative treatment supirior to the operative treatment of the supracondylar fracture of the femur. But recently, anatomical reduction and internal fixation with early joint motion showed satisfactory results and is the trend of treatment of these fracture. The authors of this thesis performed treatment of supracondylar fracture of femur by utilizing Ender nails and screws in 13 cases during the period from October 1987 to November 1988 and it was found that operation was relatively simple, bleeding was little and early exercise of knee was allowed and even for patients of old age internal fixation could be maintained easily.
