Abstract

Functional treatment of crush fractures of distal femur in 2 patients is described. Quadriceps-plasty has been performed in both cases due to the muscle adhesion to bony fragments. Osteosynthesis was contraindicated by the nature of the fracture. Functional treatment resulted in good function and efficient gait in both patients.
