title: [The treatment of a fracture of proximal end of the femur in own material].
abstract: Results of treatment for fracture of proximal end of the femur in 263 patients (86 males and 177 females) aged between 7 and 104 years were analyzed. Ninety percent of the patients were older than 60 years. Mean follow-up was 4.6 years (range 1 to 9 years). Immediate Austin-Moore hip hemiarthroplasty in the elderly and screw fixation in younger patients rendered best results in the femoral neck fractures. Ender nailing in the elderly and angular plating or skeletal traction in the young proved most successful in trochanteric fractures.
