[Classification of fractures of the distal distal femur - late results of 31 supracondylar fractures of the femur treated by surgery (author transl)].

At the 20th annual meeting of the Austrian Society of Surgeons in Innsbruck (1979) a new scheme of classification for fractures of the femur was established. The advantages of this scheme are outlined. Own experiences with 31 supra-diacondylar fractures of the femur are reported; the late results after internal fixation are discussed.
