Osteosynthesis of subtrochanteric fractures. A review of different methods.
The authors analysed the long-term results of 72 subtrochanteric fractures treated surgically over a period of 13 years. The case material was subdivided according to type of fracture and method of osteosynthesis and the results were evaluated with a view to ascertaining the best method of treatment in each type of fracture. The best results were obtained with osteosynthesis using an angled nail plate.
