title: [The efficiency of various osteosynthesis techniques in fractures of the greater trochanter].
abstract: Experimental investigations concerning the strength of different common used techniques of osteosyntheses of the greater trochanter were carried out on 22 cadaver femora. The maximal loading values were measured and analysed. Loading of the tilted femur corresponding to the bended-hip position decreased the tolerable loading values essentially.
