title: [Surgical treatment of trochanteric fractures of the femur].
abstract: Till 1971 in the clinic the treatment of trochanteric fractures was mostly conservative. Application of this method resulted in numerous complications and high mortality rate (33%). Among 363 patients admitted to the clinic during this period surgical therapy was employed only in 13 patients (3.5%). Within the recent 3 years indications to surgical therapy were considerably extended: of 111 admitted patients 41 were treated surgically (37%). The greatest number of operations was made in patients aged 71-90 years old. For osteosynthesis pin-screw with diaphyseal pad was employed. The results obtained are described.
