Objective: In this study our main goal is to evaluate the outcome of the efficiency of the Condylar plate for the treatment of intercondylar fracture of femur. Method: This clinical trial was carried out at tertiary medical college and hospital between June 2014 to June 2015. A total of 40 patients of intercondylar fractures of femur meeting the selection criteria were consecutively included in the sample. Results: During the study, over half (53.3%) of the patients were operated after 1 -2 weeks of receiving the injury, 26.7% before 1 week and 20% after 2-3 weeks of injury. Two-thirds (66.7%) of the patients stayed in the hospital for 2-3 weeks and the rest > 3-4 weeks. After intervention where 40% of the patients had excellent outcome (Insal score > 85), 46.5% good outcome (Insal score between 70-84), and 13.5% fair outcome (Insal score 60 - 6 9). Conclusion: The outcome of intercondylar fractures of the femur treated by condylar plate demonstrated excellent to good result in majority of the cases. Sixty percent of the cases returned to routine preinjury activities without limitations and one-quarter with mild limitations, in terms of subjective evaluation as well most of the patients had good to excellent outcome.
