Introduction

The treatment options of supracondylar femur fractures are diverse and occasionally controversial. The introduction of new technology and the expanding indications of established technology have led to many treatment possibilities for a fracture that can be challenging. In this Themes section, Drs. Papp, Coles, Backstein and Weber will respectively discuss the options of fixed angle devices, retrograde intramedullary nailing, total knee arthroplasty and the locking plate in the treatment of these fractures.
