title: [Results and complications of operated femoral fractures (author's transl)].
abstract: On the basis of an analysis of results gained from 153 operated femoral fractures the therapeutic possibilities under usual conditions in the majority of surgical departments are demonstrated. For the most part, the intramedullary nailing is made by the open method without drilling, sometimes with circular wiring, rarely urgently but some days later in a planned programme, after preparing the patient in an aseptic but rarely superaseptic theatre. 73.2% of the patients were controlled, 81.4% of them showing very good or good results. Disorders of vascularisation (2.6%), nail dislocations (1.96%), nail bending (3.26%), nail fractures (1.96%) andosteitis (3.26%) were analysed, timely reoperation for avoiding complications is recommended.
