This retrospective study was realized in the service of traumatology orthopaedics
(Aile IV) in the TEACHING HOSPITAL IBN ROCHD in Casablanca between January,
2000 and December 2009, concerned a series of 56 cases of fracture of the lower
extremity of the femur.The fractures of the distale extremity of the femur saw each
other at any age, with a mean age of 38 years and of the extremes of 14 and 70
years.The most frequent etiology was the traffic road accidents(82%) We noted a
clear male ascendancy (73 %).Various means of fixation were used: the screw-plate
was the most used (39 % of the cases)Generally, the results were satisfactory on the
functional plan in 63 % and on the anatomical plan 70 %.The cutaneous opening, the
associated hurts and especially the defect of reeducation were responsible largely for
various found complications which were: mal union , the gonarthrose and the stifness
of the knee.
