GENERAL EXAMINATION : Patient conscious & coherent Moderately built and nourished BP- 130/90 mmhg Pulse 72/min CVS s1s2 heard RS - bilateral air entry present P/A- soft Chest compression test negative Pelvic compression test negative Spine tenderness - negative
LOCAL EXAMINATION OF RIGHT KNEE ON INSPECTION : - Shortening of affected limb present. - Diffuse swelling present over the right knee joint. - No sinus and scars ON PALPATION : - Diffuse tenderness present over distal femur and knee joint. - Range of movements restricted - Ipsilateral hip and ankle joints are normal - No distal neurovascular deficit
INVESTIGATIONS Radiograph of right knee with thigh AP, lateral views shows Muller s type A1 supracondylar fracture of femur. Routine blood investigations Hb 14gms/dl TLC 7000/cumm Platelets 2lakhs/cumm Serum creatinine 0.6mg/dl RBS 110mgs/dl Blood group o positive
Pre operative x ray showing supra condylar fracture of femur
TREATMENT For stabilizing the fracture and to relieve the pain upper Tibial skeletal pin traction was applied temporarily with 5kgs of weight. Pre-anaesthetic check up done. pt was fit for surgery. Open reduction and internal fixation with (DYNAMIC CONDYLAR PLATE ) was planned.
PROCEDURE combined spinal epidural anaesthesia in supine position under tourniquet control, right lower limb scrubbed, painted and draped. Under C -arm guidance, fracture site identified. Incision was centered over the frature site and extended 5 cm above towards shaft of femur proximally and 5cm distally towards proximal tibia. Iliotibial band and vastus lateralis was split, fracture site exposed. Reduction done with bone clamps.
80 mm condylar screw was fixed above intercondylar notch in the distal femur. 8 holed femoral barrel plate was inserted into condylar screw, fracture site alligned plate fixed with cortical screws. Reduction checked under C arm, under negative suction drain wound closed in layers. Range of movements and neurovascular status checked.

INVESTIGATIONS RADIOGRAPH of right knee AP and LATERAL views shows Type A1 supracondylar fracture of femur acc. to Muller classification ROUTINE BLOOD INVESTIGATIONS Hb - 13.5gm/dl TLC - 8000/cu.mm Platelets 2lac/cu.mm HIV negative Hbsag negative Sr.creatinine - 0.7mg/dl RBS -100mg/dl
PRE OPERATIVE X-RAY
TREATMENT For stabilizing the fracture, upper tibial skeletal pin traction was applied. Pre-anesthetic check up done and was posted for surgery. Plan Open reduction and internal fixation with( LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATE).
PROCEDURE Patient under spinal anesthesia, in supine position, under tourniquet control, right lower limb was scrubbed, painted and draped. Lateral incision was given, fracture site exposed and reduced, repositioned anatomically. 5 holed locking compression plate was placed and fixed with 5 cancellous locking screws in distal femur in different angles. Proximally 5 cortical screws are applied into shaft of femur and checked under C arm.wound closed in layers under negative suction drain.

IMMEDIATE POST OPERATIVE X-RAYS
POST OPERATIVE FOLLOW UP Advised limb elevation and active toe movements. Drain is removed on 2nd Post operative day. Static quadriceps exercises and range of movements started on 6 th post operative day. Suture removal is done on 10 th postoperative day. Pt was advised not to bear weight for 4 weeks. Weight bearing will be started when significant callus formation is seen on x-rays.
