title: [Fractures of the upper part of the femur treated by means of the Ender osteosynthesis method].
abstract: Intramedullary osteosynthesis by Ender's method proved very successful and easily managed from the technical aspect, while it causes relatively little discomfort to the patient and resolves the problem of fractures of the femur in the trochanteric area. The greatest advantages, as compared with other types of osteosynthesis, are that it is not as time consuming as other procedures, that it is a minor operation which reduces the incidence of infection and causes minimal stress to the patient. When careful anaesthesia is used, it is frequently the only operation which can be used in biologically old and high risk patients.
