[Provisional results of intramedullar stabilisation of trochanteric fractures with the Sorg-nail (author's transl)].
Trochanteric fractures occurring predominantly in elder people should be stabilizised as soon as possible by osteosynthesis allowing immediate weight-bearing. We use the Sorg-nail for intramedullary fixation of stable and unstable fractures. In a series of 50 patients we had a mortality rate of 5% and average hospitalisation of 16 days. No infection.
