title: A method of internal fixation of supracondylar fractures of the femur.
abstract: From 1968 to 1977 13 supracondylar fractures of the femur in patients aged 16 to 82 years were treated by fixing the fracture with a Wright knee plate. The technique described is bone suture rather than rigid fixation. Reasonably good functional results were obtained in all cases.
