 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Arthroscopic treatment of intramedullary nail or distal femoral supracondylar fracture Of: Zhang Chengliang, Chen rights, Taotie Cheng, Zheng Bo [Abstract] Objective To evaluate the arthroscope retrograde intramedullary nail for treatment of distal femoral fractures and supracondylar. Methods arthroscope with retrograde intramedullary nail for treatment of distal femoral fractures and 22 cases of supracondylar, CPM early postoperative functional exercise. The results were satisfactory reduction fractures, no nonunion occurred in all patients after 2 weeks of flexion 90 or more, 3 months return to normal. Conclusion The method is a combination of arthroscopy and retrograde intramedullary the advantages of intramedullary nails, simple, accurate lock and after early application of CPM to exercise, to minimize the artificial knee injury, while providing a strong fixation, is conducive to fracture healing and knee function recovery. [Keywords:] arthroscopic femoral fractures with interlocking intramedullary nail And the distal femoral supracondylar fracture in the high-energy trauma are more common, its clinical treatment has been relatively difficult problem. Femoral condyle and condylar compression plate to support a large anatomical plate due to trauma, fixed effect is not strong enough to affect the final the past, intramedullary nails and with operational difficulties, traumatic arthritis and a high incidence of joint stiffness and other shortcomings. Therefore, our hospital from January 2004 to December 2006, the use of arthroscope retrograde intramedullary spinal cord the treatment of distal femoral nail and fractures, functional exercises after early application of CPM to obtain satisfactory results, are as follows. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General Information of this group 22 patients, 13 males and 9 females, aged 20 to 79 years, mean 41 years. The causes of injury: road accident in 15 cases, falls injury in 3 c
