[Coxal femoral fractures--surgical management and internal medicine-cardiologic concomitant therapy in geriatric patients. 1. Surgical procedure and postoperative follow-up].
246 patients (average age 82.4 years) with proximal femur fractures treated with bipolar endoprothesis, sliding lag screw or Ender nailing, related to the fracture type were analyzed in a retrospective study. Preexistent diseases, duration of operation, postoperative complications, transfusions, hospital stay, mobility achieved and mortality were noted. As a result, we found a high multimorbidity related to the age, the highest requirement of transfusions in patients undergoing Ender nailing, a long period to achieve postoperative mobility, a long hospital stay, and increasing mortality with average age and average hospital stay.
