title: [Indications and Application of a Standard and Long Gamma-nail.].
abstract: An alternative treatment of fractures of the coxal femur side is a new implant - gamma-nail. Furthermore, we present the results of study of 77 patients, mainly women (71,4%) with an average on age of 65,5 years. In 52 percent, we found relevant instabilities (AO groups 31 - A2.2, A2.3 and A3.3). The modalities of treatment and mobilization are described, and the clinical and radiological results are presented. Mobilization was possible in 84,2% of these cases. The 6,5% of operative and postoperative complications we have to face, are described in detail. Key words: bone nails, femoral fractures, hip fractures.
