Treatment of fractures of the lower extremity of the femur by retrograde intramedullary nail has benefited from the biological and mechanical advantages of this method. This technique requires an experienced hand and remains much faster than the open osteosynthesis plate. It is ideally suited to the treatment of bilateral supra-condylar fractures, in particular because it requires a single position and a single operative field. We report two cases of bilateral supra-condylar fractures in women treated at once by two retrograde intramedullary nails, with good recovery of flexion of both knees (100° right and 105° left).
