Abstract

Introduction: In addition, a retrograde intramedullary supracondylar nail has got distinct advantages of preservation of fracture hematoma, decreased blood loss, minimal soft tissue dissection, less operative time, and reduced rate of infection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of supracondylar and intercondylar fracture of the femur, treated by close or open reduction and internal xation using a retrograde intramedullary supracondylar nail. Methods: A total number of 32 patients were enrolled in this study who presented with supracondylar femur fracture and had undergone a closed reduction and internal xation by Retrograde Femoral nail. Neer's and Sander's evaluation scoring system was used for evaluation. Results: Neer's rating was used to assess the result, according to which there were good to excellent results in 74.20% of cases. Conclusion: Supracondylar femur nail is an optimum tool for many supracondylar fractures of the femur, but it needs attention to technique to prevent the difculty
