Summary: Annual incidence of these fractures has been estimated to be 10 per 100,000 persons and this incidence has been noticed to be higher among the youths, decreasing after age 40 and then again increasing in the elderly. These fractures are neither managed conservatively or operatively. The aim of the study was to determine if there is a significant difference in the knee joint functional outcome in patients with femur fractures treated operatively or conservatively at UTH.
