Abstract
The surgical treatment of supracondylar femoral fractures in both poor-quality bone and high-energy fractures presents challenging task for the traumatologist. We present our experience with the use of carbon fiber reinforced plates and nails, along with other osteosyntheses, in the treatment of 9 patients with distal femur fractures. A group of patients, all women, with low-energy fractures, and another group of 3 male patients with a history of high-energy fractures (two nonunions). All patients consolidated, except for one infected nonunion whose osteosynthesis had to be changed. The. use of this method for the treatment of peri-implant femoral fractures and complex fractures we believe provides a successful and technically similar solution to other osteosyntheses
