title: [Problems with treatment of trochanteric femur fractures at elderly patients].
abstract: Authors analyzed patients complications with trochanteric fractures of femur treated in Department Orthopedic and Casualty of St. Lukas Hospital in Tarnów from 01.01.2008 to 31.12.2009 in this study. During this period were treated 167 patients. In most of cases operative treatment such as: Dynamic Hip Screw fixation, Gamma nailing, Ender's method and angle plate with screws were used. Prosthetic replacement was also used and 9 patients weren't operated because of coexisting pathological states. Basing on a done analyze of clinical material it was pronounced that independently from used surgical procedure regional and general complications are being occurred.
