Objectives: To assess the functional outcome in supracondylar femur fracturesfixed with intramedullary tibial nail. Study Design: Prospective case series. Setting: Al Noorspecialist hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Period: Four years (2009-2013). Methods: 25patients with closed supracondylar femoral fractures operated with tibial intramedullary nail. Thefunctional outcome was measured by Tegner Lysholm criteria during and after 4 years. Results:Out of 25 patients 20 were male and 5 were female. The mean time of healing was 15.80(2.646)weeks. 6(24%) patients showed excellent results, 12(48%) patients showed good results and7(28%) patients showed fair results. There were no poor results in our study. Conclusions:Retrograde tibial nails are cheaper, convenient and lead to good functional outcome in patientswith supracondylar femur fractures.
