Intraarticular fractures communicate with synovial fluid, which contains collagenases that retard bone healing.
Joint movement will cause the fracture fragments to more, further impairing union. When intraarticular fractures
are comminuted, the fragments tend to float apart owing to loss of soft tissue support. Surgical treatment of
supracondylar or intercondylar distal femoral fractures remains a significant surgical challenge with significant
complication rates. Fifteen young-adult DSH intact male, from different owner were present to the clinic of Islamic
Azad University with sings of fractures. In eight cases stabilization was attained with an intercondylar lag screw
correctly. In others seven cats fragments was not attained and fracture line had 2mm distance. Radiographic
evaluation of bone healing in the eight cases that stabilization was attained correctly showed that seven cases of
these cats were healed and one case was not healed, but in other seven cases with 2 mm distance between two
fragments healind didn't occur.
