[Dynamic sliding screw in the treatment of fractures of the proximal femur in the traumatological research institute in 1987-1991.].
The authors present the retrospective evaluation of a group of 20 patients with fractures of the proximal femur who were treated in 1987-1991 by synthesis with a sliding conpressive screw. The authors used implants POLDI, OSTEO and AESCULAP. Women predominated at a ratio of 3 : 2. The mean age at the time of the injury was 57 years. The operations were made soon after the injury - 13 times on the day of the injury, the longest interval was three days after the injury. Mediocolic fractures predominated - 10 times. An exchange operation had to be performed 5 times, five patients died and three patients were lost from the records. Of the remaining seven patients six were cured with excellent results and one female patient, the only one who developed posttraumatic necrosis of the head, recovered with good results. The basis of success remains correct indication of the operation and its implementation, perfect from the technical aspect. Key words: fractures of the neck of the femur, dynamic sliding screw.
