title: Static assembly of the CEB system in per-subtrochanteric fractures.
abstract: The CEB surgical system constitutes a new means of intramedullary dynamic osteosynthesis for the surgical treatment of pertrochanteric fractures. The effectiveness of results obtained in more than 250 cases has encouraged use of the method for the treatment of fractures in the femoral subtrochanteric region, too, with a static assembly that involves a supplementary oblique distal screw. The distal screwing phase proved to be very easy; the authors recommend its use in all of cases of strongly unstable lateral fractures.
