title: [Experience with Ender nailing in 671 cases].
abstract: Between 1976 and 1987 at the Surgical Department of the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, 671 fractures of the trochanteric region of the femur were treated by Ender nailing. In 54 cases (8.0%) there were intraoperative complications, in 82 cases (12.2%) postoperative complications occurred. Reoperation became necessary at 57 (8.5%) patients. Because of this complication rate we only see indications for Ender nailing in patients with skin lesions over the fracture site, valgus angulation of the proximal fragment and in the palliative treatment of pathological fractures.
