Functional outcome of distal femoral shaft fractures after fixation with tibial nails
Siddieq Mohammed
Umm Al-Qura University, KSA
Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the functional outcome and the time of healing in supracondylar femur fractures
fixed with intramedullary tibial nail.
Methods: It was a randomized control trial study comprising of 25 patients with closed supracondylar femoral fractures operated
with tibial intramedullary nail in Al Noor Specialty Hospital during a period of four years (2009-2013). The functional outcome was
measured by Tegner Lysholm criteria during and after 4 years.
Results: Out of 25 patients, 20 were male and 5 were female. The mean time of healing was 15.80 (2.646) weeks. 6 (24%) patients
showed excellent results, 12 (48%) patients showed good results and 7 (28%) patients showed fair results. There were no poor results
in our study.
Conclusions: Retrograde tibial nails are cheaper, convenient and comparable option for stabilizing the supracondylar fracture
compared to standard retrograde femoral nails.
