[Comminuted fractures of the distal part of the femur].

The Authors discussed the problem of femoral over intracondylar structures, that industrial and highway accidents have increased we consider as necessary a perfect anatomical repair of articular surfaces, in order to avoid any rigidity or secondary artrosys. It's considered essential on such purpose surgical reconstruction, which, thanks to new methods and antibiotics it's to be considerate much more sure than once. After short recollection of functional anatomy one stops on surgical treatment adopted at the orthopedic clinic of Verona, separated office of Padua University, and reporting at the end obtained results in 18 cases of such fractures.
