Abstract
Peri-articular fractures of the knee in the young and elderly pose several management dilemmas. Over the last decade enormous interest has been generated in various fixation modalities, none proving to be an ideal stabilisation method. The problem is compounded by a lack of well-designed studies comparing various treatment options. In this article, the issues surrounding the diagnostic and management strategies of peri-articular fractures of the knee are discussed.
