[The use of the gamma nail in fractures of the nearer end of femur].
The elaboration presents the operating indications in treatment of fractures of the nearer end of the femur using the Gamma nail. In comminuted fractures, the Kyle partition was used. The operating- techniques, difficulties and complications appeared after treatment with this method have been presented. Among 42 patients operated with the Gamma nail, 39 good and satisfactory results have been obtained. The stable intramedullary osteosynthesis ought to be recommended in fractures of the nearer end of femur having in mind characterised by the closed operating techniques, little loss of blood, stability of the junction and early mobilization of the patient.
