title: [The use of the Richard's dynamic hip screw and hip Zespol fixator in the treatment of proximal femoral fracture].
abstract: A series of 49 patients (27 females, 22 males) aged 24-82 operated on due to proximal end of the femur fracture between 1990 and 1995 were included in this study. There were 23 femoral neck fractures and 26 trochanteric fractures. DHS was used in 35 patients and Zespol hip fixator in 14 cases. Good results have been achieved in 85.7%. Neither method proved superior to the other. Poor results occurred in subcapital neck fractures. DHS seems to offer advantage in trochanteric fractures and Zespol method in femoral neck fractures.
