title: [Advantages and disadvantages of various implants in fractures of the proximal femur].
abstract: Fractures of the proximal femur can be stabilized by help of a number of implants. The choice depends on the site and the degree of instability of the fracture, the age of the patient, the state of the hip-joint cartilage, and last but not least on the preference of the surgeon for a certain type of osteosynthesis.
