title: [6 years experiences with the "dynamic condylar screw" in supra- and intercondylar fractures].
abstract: 44 supra- and intercondylar fractures were treated with the "Dynamic Condylar Screw" (DCS). Our experience with this device in a teaching hospital with surgeons of different training levels was encouraging, since there was no complication due to the insertion technique in this complex fracture setting. When we compare our results obtained with the DCS with those in the literature achieved with the angled blade plate, we got the same or better results in respect to implant failure, infection, fracture healing and function.
