I. Reich et al., CONDITIONS OF LIVING AND MORTALITY AFTER OPERATING PROXIMAL FEMORAL FRACTURES OF ELDERLY PEOPLE, Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 30(1), 1997, pp. 18-23
While hemiendoprothesis has been established in the treatment of hip f
ractures of aged people because of less operative trauma, better effec
tiveness and satisfying functionality, surgical management of trochant
eric fractures is still in discussion. In our study, we found no sever
e difference of living conditions or mortality after operating elderly
patients with proximal femoral fractures comparing Hemiprotheses vers
us Endernails versus Dynamic Hip Screws.
