Mechanism: axial load to a flexed knee;
- Bimodal distribution:
- low energy fractures involving older females (often these patients have severe osteoporosis);
- high energy fractures involving younger males;
- associated injuries:
- vascular Injury: 2-3% (similar to vessel injury in knee dislocations)

Supracondylar Femur Fracture Dynamic Condylar Buttress Plate
Location: http://www.hwbf.org/ota/bfc/duwe2/exp.htm
The decision is between a condylar buttress plate versus a 95 degree fixed angle device such as a blade plate or a DCS condylar screw. Biomechanically, the results are better with a fixed angle device.

Supracondylar Femur Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics
Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1269699-overview
Author: Steven I Rabin, MD 2004Supracondylar femur fractures require anatomically stable internal fixation for best results, which usually necessitates surgical treatment. These fractures usually occur in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities and osteoporotic bone; thus, a high rate of complications exists. Severely comminuted distal femur fractures are especially difficult fractures...
