An analysis of treatment of 95 patients allowed the authors believe that antegrade blocking osteosynthesis gives a reliable fixation of fragments in cases of fractures of distal metaphysic of the femoral bone and prevents the development of extension contracture in the knee joint. It gives a good functional result.
