[Unicondylar fractures of the femur].
The authors have treated and reviewed 8 recent and 24 ancient unicondylar fractures of the femur. They point out that initial diagnosis had often been missed, due to associated lesions or apparently minimal displacement. They think that recent fractures should always be surgically treated by sagittal screwing. Indications are given for the treatment of malunions (osteotomies, arthrolysis, arthrodesis, prosthesis).
