Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Sander's scale.	one year	A scale of 40 points with 0 as the minimum value and 40 as the maximum value. A higher score means a better outcome. The scale is used as a functional outcome following distal femur fractures fixation using questionaire about the pain, walking ability and return of work and using x rays to measure angulation in degrees and shortening in centimeters and examining the range of motion of the knee joint in degrees.
