title: [Arterial occlusions following Ender nailing of proximal femoral fractures].
abstract: On assessing the 160 cases of nailing according to the method of Ender and Simon-Weidner ("Ender Nailing") during a five-year period we noticed three cases (1.8%) where arterial occlusion had occurred postoperatively on the operated side. The article describes the cases and discusses the possible aetiological factors and consequences which may result therefrom with regard to therapy. Particular attention is given to a discussion on the possible influence exercised by the form of thromboembolism prophylaxis.
