چکیده
A retrospective study of 34 patients with supracondylar-condylar fractures of the femur admitted to the Alexandra Hospital, Singapore, from January 1979 to December 1983 was carried out. These fractures were surgically treated by AO principles and fixation, and the surgery performed mainly by the two authors. Using strict criteria adopted from Schatzker of Toronto, 1 it was found that 62% of patients had excellent/ good results. The importance of treating supracondylar-condylar fractures by AO principles and fixation is emphasised.
