Abstract:
Objective To compare the treatment effect of internal fixation with retrograde interlocking intramedullary nails or condylar plates in the treatment of comminuted fracture of the femoral condyle. Methods 36 cases of comminuted fracture of femoral condyle admitted from 2000 to 2005 were treated with retrograde interlocking intramedullary nails (n=19) or condylar plates (n=17). Union time of fracture and the recovery of knee function were observed respectively. Results The average union time of fracture of the cases treated with retrograde interlocking intramedullary nails was 102 days, and the score of knee function was 84.59. Whereas in the cases treated with condylar plates the union time of fracture was 91.35 days, and the score of knee function was 91.10. Significant differences in both union time of fracture and knee function between the two therapeutic methods were observed (P
