We treated 7 cases with fractures of the distal end of the femur. Subjects comprised 2 males and 5 females with a mean age of 63.3 years (range: 55-75 years). Fractures were classified using the AO system as follows: type A2 (3 cases), type A3 (1 case), type B1 (1 case), type C2 (2 cases). We treated s cases with Russell-Taylor interlocking nails, 5 cases with intramedullary supracondylar nails.
Bone union was achieved in 6 of 7 cases. The mean healing time was 158.8 days.
