title: [Incidence of intercurrent complications and their prognostic value in elderly patients with femoral fractures near the hip].
abstract: Geriatric patients, fracture of the femur proximal to the hip joint, frequency of intercurrent complications, surgical complications, fracture of the neck of the femur. The assessment of data of over 1,7000 cases of patients with fractures of the femur proximal to the hip joint is used to establish the frequency of intercurrent complications such as general, potentially fatal conditions and technical incidents during operations. Multidimensional biostatistical methods of evaluation are used to discuss the causes and interrelationships involved and to draw conclusions for the treatment of such fractures in elderly patients, especially among the oldest of this age group.
