[Treatment of trochanteric fractures of the femoral bone].
The authors present the evaluation of some most often methods of treatment of trochanteric fractures of femur. They analyze the group of 235 patients in the years 1987 - 1991 treated for fractures by the McLaughlin technique and by Ender nailing. The first method was performed on 121 people and the technique of Ender nailing on 97 people. The results and complications of these methods of osteosynthesis are presented in the paper. The experiences of the authors confirm the advantage of Ender nailing in treating fractures of the oldest injured patients. The Ender nailing method of osteosynthesis is the more advantageous, because the operation takes less time and is easier for patients. After Ender nailing, the possibility of functional rehabilitation and walking on crutches is greater. McLaughlin osteosynthesis of these fractures proved the more advantageous in younger injured patients.
