Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
In the modern world with the increasing density of automobile traffic on roads and ever increasing number of road accidents, there is great increase in number and severity of fractures.Advance in mechanization and increase in the speed of motor vehicles have been accompanied by an increase in the number and severity of fractures; those in distal part of femur are no extension and Fractures around knee joint have assumed an importance and frequency. In the precarious plight of city pedestrian, the knee seems to be most vulnerable point. A hinge joint at the exact level of automobile bumper is most commonly struck on its lateral side. For two wheeler occupants knee joint is frequently injured both by direct collision or getting struck to ground on falling on ground. For car occupants knee joint is in front of dash board and takes major blow in head on collisions.Increase in road traffic accidents and associated high velocity trauma has increased the incidence of distal femoral fractures,which has always been a therapeutic challenge for the treating surgeon,right from the past.
