There were 13 cases of type-C1, 10 type-C2 and 9 type-C3 ac cording to the AO/ASIF standard. The outcomes of internal fixation were evaluate d according to preoperative and postoperative radiographs and postoperative func tions of the knee. Results 27 patients were followed-up from 8 months to 8 year s. The results were excellent in 14 cases, good in 9, poor in 4 according to San ders standard. Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation is an ideal ch oice for intercondylar fractures of the distal femur.
