Surgical Treatment for the Fractures and the Pseudoarthrosis of the Proximal and Distal End of the Femur by Judet's Screw-Plate System

Judet's Screw-plate system is the best osteosynthesis material for fractures and pseudoarthrosis of the proximal and distal ends of the femur. This Screw-plate has been invented by R. Judet in 1969 and ameliorated by E. Letournel in 1980. We bave surgically treated 23 fresh fractures and 8 pseudoarthrosis of distal end of the femur between August 1971 and August 1984, 15 men and 16 wemen.The average age was 52.8 years old and the majority of our cases became the victim of the traffic accident. The consolidation have been obtained in all cases of fresh fractures and end of 8 pseudoarthrosis after osteo-muscular decortication of Judet's technique.With regard to R. O. M. post-operative of the knee, elven cases were very good (130 & plus) ten cases were good (129-100) and 8 cases fair (99-65). Judet's mobilisation of the knne, DESINSERTION DU QUADRICEPS, were performed in eight cases.
